    The gluteal turnover flap is an innovative technique for reconstructing the posterior vaginal wall after abdominoperineal resection.

  • 2

    This technique minimizes donor site morbidity and reduces the risk of flap failure compared to traditional myocutaneous flaps.

  • 3

    The flap involves minimal dissection and allows for midline closure without leaving a donor site scar.

  • 4

    Successful reconstruction is defined by complete healing of the perineum and vaginal wall without abscess or fistula formation.

  • 5

    The study reports outcomes from four patients who underwent this procedure, demonstrating its effectiveness in complex cases.
