| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Immediate reconstruction after pelvic exenteration is challenging. Several flap techniques, such as the vertical rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap and the gracilis flap, have been reported. However, flap-specific complications have been documented. Instead of harvesting the myocutaneous flap from the abdomen or legs, our group has proposed a colonic flap for neovaginal reconstruction especially for rectal cancer with vaginal invasion. Nevertheless, the application of a colonic flap for individuals needing only vascularized tissue to fill up the pelvic dead space is problematic. The aim of this study was to demonstrate this novel technique. METHODS: There were eight patients: three rectal cancers, one vulvar cancer with synchronous rectal cancer, one malignant nerve sheath tumor, one cervical cancer, one prostate cancer, and one rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumor. The operations included four total pelvic exenterations, three total pelvic exenterations with S3-sacrectomy, and one total pelvic exenteration with S3-sacrectomy and left nephrectomy. A colonic flap from which the mucosa was removed was used for immediate pelvic reconstruction in all patients. The flap detail involved harvesting the segment of sigmoid colon with low ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery, spatulation of the antimesenteric side of the flap, and mucosectomy. The flap was sutured to the pelvic sidewall with the mucosa-removed surface facing toward the pelvic defect. RESULTS: There were no intraoperative complications, and free surgical margins were achieved. Two patients developed a fluid collection, which was successfully treated with percutaneous drainage. Perineal wound complications were not found. None of the patients developed incisional hernias or perineal hernias at the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Immediate pelvic reconstruction with mucosa-removed colonic flap is technically feasible and straightforward. This technique provides good outcomes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
