Plastische Deckung ausgedehnter Defekte nach exenterativen Eingriffen im Becken

Abstract

Extended resections of pelvic malignancies, especially in cases of recurrent malignancies, result in the formation of large tissue defects in the region of the pelvic floor and perineum, which are difficult to deal with. Both after extra levator rectal excision and pelvic exenteration, wound healing deficiencies and local infections of the perineal wound are frequent. Primary closure is often impossible due to a lack of tissue substance after resection and an additional previous radiotherapy in most cases. This can result in poor or non-healing wounds, a consecutive need of complex care and an increased risk of secondary problems including tumour recurrences. A permanent wound closure of good quality can therefore only be achieved by plastic surgery. This can be done by local or distant muscle flaps with or without skin, for example, the gluteus maximus flap, the vertical rectus abdominis muscle flap (VRAM) or free flaps such as the latissimus dorsi flap.

Interdisciplinary Surgical Approaches in Vaginal and Perineal Reconstruction of Advanced Rectal and Anal Female Cancer Patients

“…BACKGROUND Especially in female patients with advanced rectal or anal cancer the rate of perineal and pelvic wound complications after a neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and abdominoperineal resection (APR) has been described up to 60% of patients (1). The most frequent sequelae include acute perineal abscesses, perineal herniation and long term wound dehiscence (2)(3)(4)(5)(6).…”
