title: [Vaginal and perineal reconstruction following excision for cancer. Apropos of 4 cases].
abstract: Vaginal reconstruction at a Cancer Treatment Institute is discussed on the basis of 4 personal cases, using either myocutaneous flaps [gracilis (1 case), gluteus maximus (2 cases)] for the lower portion and the perineum, or a sigmoid graft when vulvo-perineal structures are conserved. A review of techniques and published cases is presented.
