How Transvaginal Martius Flap is performed
This procedure is used for cases requiring supplemental blood supply to the tissues. It often involves separating and closing the defects on the rectal and vaginal sides transvaginally under anesthesia; a pedicled fat pad is taken from the labia majora area, transferred through a tunnel to the fistula tract space for interposition, avoiding tension, and fixed with layered sutures. Imaging or perfusion assessment can be used to evaluate blood supply. Postoperative monitoring focuses on bleeding, urinary retention, and fat pad perfusion, with the goal of improving local blood supply and promoting healing. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
