International dermatosurgery: reconstructive treatment of the vulva--a new procedure: experience on 23 cases over 4 years.
The postvulvectomy reconstruction caused the authors diverse problems in the first three operations. The use of a bipedicle advancement flap obtained from the anterointernal region of the thigh, modified depending on the extension of the vulvectomy and the elasticity of the skin allow us to suggest the use of this technique due to its safeness, the facility with which it is carried out, and reduction of the hospital stay, as this makes the method socially economical.
