Sexual adjustment of patients undergoing <b> <i>Gracilis myocutaneous</i> </b> flap vaginal reconstruction in conjunction with pelvic exenteration

Abstract

Based on the findings of this questionnaire study, sexual adjustment is often significantly impaired in women after pelvic exenteration and gracilis myocutaneous vaginal reconstruction. Future modifications in surgical technique, more realistic patient counseling and aggressive postoperative support will hopefully minimize such problems.
