Vulvar Reconstruction And Local Flap Reconstruction

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The discussion covers vulval resection and reconstruction, emphasizing tailored approaches based on defect size and location. Small defects often allow primary closure, while larger ones require local or distant flap reconstruction. Advancement flaps like the V-Y flap are versatile for various defect sizes, mobilizing tissue to cover defects without tension. Rotational and rhomboid flaps are effective for larger or complex defects, providing good cosmetic and functional outcomes. A surgical video demonstrates marking margins, tumor resection, flap mobilization, tension-free closure, and careful suturing to restore anatomy, reduce wound breakdown risk, and maintain function in vulval cancer surgery.
