PY - 2015 T2 - Radical and Reconstructive Gynecologic Cancer Surgery AB - The introduction of radical vulvar surgery and pelvic exenteration in 1950s allowed for the treatment of locally advanced or recurrent cancer with improved survival outcomes.1,2 Unfortunately, the large defects accompanying radical vulvar surgery were often complicated by significant infections and poor wound healing. In light of the significant risk of postoperative morbidity, the quality of life following radical surgery has been of great concern to both patients and surgeons. To improve these outcomes, advances in reconstructive procedures have evolved to provide coverage of defects, enhance cosmetic results, and preserve quality of life.3 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - hemonc.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1179986575 ER -
