Local control for vaginal botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma with pre-rectal transperineal surgical resection and autologous buccal graft vaginal replacement: A novel, minimally invasive, radiation-sparing approach

摘要

Purpose: Localized vaginal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is associated with a favorable prognosis, but strategies for local control remain controversial. The use of radiotherapy (RT) can have important long-term sequelae, while traditional resection involves major reconstructive surgery. We describe a new surgical approach employing a minimally-invasive resection and immediate reconstruction.
