ABSTRACT
Reconstructing extensive perineal defects represents a challenge, and reconstructive choice requires a careful physical assessment of previous radiotherapy, pre-existing scars, the presence of stomas, and the availability of donor sites. We report a case of a patient affected by an anal carcinoma who underwent a pelvic exenteration and bilateral inguinal iliac obturator lymph node dissection. We performed a pedicled anterolateral thigh flap (ALT) combined with bilateral lotus petal flaps (LPF) to reconstruct the pelvic-perineal area. The result was good, and no major post-operative complications were reported. Bilateral LPF, combined with a pedicled ALT, may represent a valid option in pelvic-perineal reconstruction following a wide oncological resection.
