Abstract

Poor perineal healing is often a major complication of extended radical vulvectomy in case of vulvar carcinoma. Procedures of vulvoperineal reconstruction require several criteria of quality for their use. The chosen technique should be: (1) reliable; (2) reproducible; (3) with minimal morbidity; (4) not much invasive with good anatomical and functional results. We describe two procedures of perineal reconstruction that correspond to the previous criteria: a local fasciocutaneous flap with lateral transposition and a regional musculocutaneous flap using the gluteus maximus muscle.
