Abstract
Performing radical surgery for locally advanced vulvar cancer is usually associated with the occurrence of large perineal defects. These defects, especially in previously radiated cases, often require more advanced reconstructive techniques using locoregional flaps. We present two cases of vulvar reconstruction, one case using a split and thinned, transversely oriented, pedicled deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap and another one with gracilis myocutaneous flap. These pedicled flap seems to be an effective and feasible method of perineal reconstruction after extended perineal resection for locally advanced vulvar cancers. especially in pre-irradiated patients.
