The use of biological dressings in radical vulvectomy.
The use of biological dressing techniques accelerates recovery from radical vulvectomy combined with lymphadenectomy. Our earliest interest in the field arose as a result of the morbidity rate which ensued subsequent to surgical therapy of cancer of the vulva. The technique involved in 8 such procedures is described, and its applicability illustrated with photographic plates and review of the literature.
