RESUMEN
El cáncer de vagina es una neoplasia rara, que constituye un 1% del cáncer genital femenino, aunque ha aumentado su incidencia en los últimos años. El manejo quirúrgico, adyuvante y reconstructivo resulta importante en el resultado oncológico y funcional de la enfermedad, pero puede comprometer la anatomía y función vaginal, y la de los órganos adyacentes. El avance en las terapias quirúrgicas y adyuvantes en pacientes más jóvenes ha conducido a una mayor supervivencia, implicando la necesidad de un mejor manejo del defecto anatómico de la lesión o de las secuelas de su tratamiento. Debe intentarse siempre que sea necesario un manejo multidisciplinario, desde la primera intervención, incluyendo la técnica reconstructiva correspondiente al defecto. Se presenta un caso de manejo conjunto oncológico y reconstructivo, mediante colgajo unilateral en flor de loto de un defecto vulvar crónico, originado tras el manejo de un cáncer vaginal primario previo.
ABSTRACT
Vaginal cancer is a rare neoplasm which makes up 1% of female genital cancer; however, its incidence has risen in the past few years. Adjuvant and reconstructive surgical management prove to be important in the oncologic and functional outcome of the disease, but may involve anatomy and function in the vagina, as well as in adjacent organs. Breakthroughs in surgical and adjuvant therapy have led to greater survival rates among younger patients, thus implying a greater need for improved management of the anatomical defect in the lesion or of treatment side effects. An effort should always be made towards interdisciplinary management, from the initial interven tion, including the corresponding reconstructive technique used on the defect. A case is presented on the combined oncologic and reconstructive management achieved by means of a lotus flower unilateral flap for a chronic vulvar defect brought about by previous primary vaginal cancer.
