Perforator-Based Pentagonal V-Y Advancement Skin and Subcutaneous Flap
PPVYAF offers a simple, reliable, robust, and replicable method of addressing perineal, pelvic, and vaginal defects following major anorectal resections. The simple V-Y design and harvest based on the understanding of perforator-based blood supply form the pillars of this flap. This facilitates early postoperative recovery, a stable wound in the late postoperative period, and possible return of sexual function even in cases with larger resection.
