Vaginal Reconstruction with Neurovascular Pudendal Thigh Flap in Seven Cases

Year 2003, Volume: 4 Issue: 3, 9 - 12, 17.09.2003

Abstract

Background:Reconstruction of the vulva, vagina and perineum is still a challenge for the plastic andreconstructive surgeons, gynecologists, pediatric surgeons, urologists and general surgeons. The majorindications for the reconstruction of the vagina are vaginal agenesis and post-oncological surgery. Manytechniques have been described for the reconstruction of this anatomical region. The neurovascular pudendalthigh flap is one of these.Material and methods:In this report we presented the results of the neurovascular pudendal thigh flap in sevenfemale patients with primary amenorrhea secondary to congenital vaginal agenesis.Results:There were no early or late complications in our series. Only hair growth was observed in three patientsbut this caused no complaints. Satisfactory functional, sensory and cosmetical results were achieved in allpatients within the post-operative six months.Conclusions:We concluded that neurovascular pudendal thigh flap is one of the most ideal techniques inreconstruction of the vagina due to its relatively simple technique, acceptable scar formation in donor area, lack ofneed for a stent in post-operative period, durable and reliable characteristics of the flap and successful functionaland cosmetical results
