Bilateral V-Y advancement flaps for the management of extensive defects of the perianal skin.
Premalignant and malignant conditions of the skin may sometimes require excision of extensive areas of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. Coverage of the ensuing raw area may be afforded by allowing healing by secondary intention, skin grafts, or flaps. Wide excision of the perianal skin poses special problems. We describe the use of bilateral V-Y advancement flaps for the management of an extensive defect resulting from the wide excision of squamous cell carcinoma arising in scarred perianal skin.
