Genitocrural Island Perforator Flap (GIP-Flap): An ideal surgical technique for covering uni- or bilateral vulvar loss tissue

Ann Chir Plast Esthet. 2023 Dec 23:S0294-1260(23)00136-X. doi: 10.1016/j.anplas.2023.11.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVulvar loss of soft tissue leads to urinary, sexual and morphological dysfunctions. Most patients affected are comorbid making it difficult to perform a flap, which is the most appropriate way to reconstruct. Our multidisciplinary plastic and gynecologic surgery team has developed a new technique using a pedicled internal pudendal island flap. Reconstruction is reliable, quick and applicable to all patients, with a highly satisfactory final appearance.PMID:38143156 | DOI:10.1016/j.anplas.2023.11.003
