Abstract

Given their high rate of complications, radical surgical procedures of anorectal and gynecological tumors require a reliable and individualized reconstruction. The latter is influenced by the frequent indication of adjuvant chemo/radiotherapy that they present. We describe the case of a patient with medical history of vulvar carcinoma that required radical surgery and bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy. Because of the stage of the tumor, the application of postoperative radiotherapy was clinically indicated; however, after surgery, the patient developed bilateral inguinal ulcers that made postoperative radiotherapy application impossible. Using a radical surgical approach in combination with postoperative radiotherapy increases survival in patients with these types of tumors. Therefore, delaying its use because of wound complications or inadequate reconstruction cannot be justified. The pedicled abdominal rectus flap is an excellent option for this purpose in patients with moderate- to large-sized defects.
