Modified gluteal‐fold flap for the reconstruction of vulvovaginal defects

Background  Reconstruction of vulvovaginal defects after tumor excision requires good‐quality skin cover because of the cosmetic and functional importance of this region. Although numerous techniques for vulvovaginal reconstruction have been described, an ideal approach has yet to be widely accepted.
