Objective:

To evaluate the role of preoperative digital computed tomographic angiography (CTA) in ALT flap planning for vulvar reconstruction following Vulvar Paget's disease excision.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Digital CTA effectively delineated the origin, course, and caliber of perforator vessels.
    • The flap demonstrated good perfusion and satisfactory vulvar morphology postoperatively.
    • The donor site healed without complications.
    Interpretation:

    Preoperative CTA enhances surgical predictability and safety in ALT flap reconstruction for vulvar defects.

    Limitations:
    • The study is based on a single case, limiting generalizability.
    • Lack of comparative analysis with traditional imaging methods.
    Conclusion:

    Preoperative CTA serves as a valuable adjunct in vulvar reconstruction following Vulvar Paget's disease excision.
