Article Abstract
Introduction: Vaginal complications following radical cystectomy may require surgical treatment. We herein report a case of successful laparoscopically assisted vulvar reconstruction using the gluteal fold flap for anterior enterocele following robot-assisted radical cystectomy.
Case Presentation: A 71-year-old Japanese woman underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy for bladder cancer (ypT1ypN1M0). The bladder, urethra, bilateral ovaries, and anterior vaginal wall were removed together transvaginally. The Mercedes-Benz closure technique was performed for vaginal reconstruction using the posterior vaginal wall. Seventeen months after surgery, she complained of a vulvar bulge, and physical examination confirmed a tennis ball-sized anterior enterocele. Therefore, she underwent laparoscopically assisted vulvar reconstruction using the gluteal fold flap. No recurrence had developed at 6 months postoperatively.
Conclusion: The combination with laparoscopy allows vulvar reconstruction to be performed safely and efficiently.

Objectives: To assess histologic changes in the peritoneal neovagina following RPGAV to better guide shared decision-making regarding vaginoplasty techniques. Robotic-Assisted Peritoneal Flap Gender-Affirming Vaginoplasty (RPGAV) uses pedicled flaps of pelvic peritoneum to form the proximal neovagina. Early reports of peritoneal vaginoplasty suggested potential for "self-lubrication"; however, long-term maintenance of fluid production remains uncertain.

High mortality rates and poor quality of life result from the late-stage detection and frequent recurrence of gynecological neoplasms. : The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic analysis of the energy parameters of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of cervical and vulvar lesions, with a focus on stimulating immune responses leading to human papillomavirus (HPV) eradication and lesion regression without adverse effects, such as thermal damage. : A total of 46 peer-reviewed studies published between January 2010 and April 2024 were analyzed.

Introduction And Importance: The female external genitalia can be affected by various tumors, benign and malignant, including those of the clitoris. Clitoral epidermoid cysts are a rare late complication associated with female genital mutilation (FGM). FGM, as defined by the WHO, is a human rights violation performed for non-medical reasons.

Vulvar and perineal reconstruction represents a significant surgical challenge, particularly in the context of oncological resections, trauma, or postpartum injuries. Vulvar cancer, predominantly squamous cell carcinoma, often necessitates extensive resections, leading to significant tissue defects and high rates of postoperative complications. Reconstructive procedures, encompassing skin grafts and local, regional, and distant flaps, are intended to restore the anatomical structure, protect internal organs, and enhance functional outcomes and quality of life.
