Abstract EN
A 47-year-old female with a locally advanced urologic malignancy previously managed with resection, diversion, and postoperative radiation therapy presented for management of her recurrent cancer that had eroded through the soft tissues of the left inner thigh and vulva.
On all staging studies the tumor involved the left common femoral artery, and vein, both above and below the inguinal ligament.
The difficulty with such tumors is the availability of tissue to reconstruct the defect.
The patient had a history of deep venous thrombosis in the femoral venous system.
A local flap was the most logical type of reconstruction.
The patient had a right lower quadrant ureterostomy with a large parastomal hernia which further limited the local flap options.
An anterolateral thigh flap from the opposite thigh was used to reconstruct the soft tissue deficit in this patient.
This resurfaced the defect and provided coverage for the vascular reconstruction.
