Objective:The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of the application of anterolateral thigh flap in postop-erative repairing of vulva tumor.Methods:Anterolateral thigh flap with the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and the pedicle of anterolateral thigh cutaneous nerve was used in primary repairing of the defect from postoperative vulva tumor, the sizes of the flaps ranged from 10 cm ×14 cm-14 cm × 20 cm.Results:All flaps survived, during a follow-up of 2 to 12 months, the appearance of the flaps was satisfactory with sensitive function without local recurrences.Conclusion:Anterolateral thigh flap has fairly long vessel pedicle, wider vessel diameter, and is in the covert area.Anterolateral thigh flap with sensory nerve is the ideal choice for postoperative repairing of vulva tumor.

Methods： Anterolateral thigh flap with the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and the pedicle of anterolaterat thigh cutaneous nerve was used in primary repairing of the defect from postoperative vulva tumor, the sizes of the flaps ranged from 10 cm ×14 cm-14 cm× 20 cm. Results： All flaps survived, during a follow-up of 2 to 12 months, the appearance of the flaps was satisfactory with sensitive function without local recurrences.

Anterolateral thigh flap with sensory nerve is the ideal choice for postoperative repairing of vulva tumor.
