Abstract

The technique of radical vulvectomy with lymphadenectomy in which primary skin. closure of the large defect is achieved is described. Experience with this operative technique at the University Hospital, Kuala Lurnpur from 1968 to 1980 is reviewed. The technique allows for wide clearance of the tumour and of regional lymphatic channels and nodes in continuity. We have been impressed by the good immediate results and at the primary skin closure achieved in all our cases.
