Martius Labial Fat Pad Graft (Use in RVF Repair)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the use of the Mardius graft to repair a multi-recurrent rectovaginal fistula is demonstrated. The video focuses on the development and placement of the flap. The Mardius flap is a technique that involves creating a flap from the labium magus and using it to cover the fistula defect. The flap is mobilized, passed through the levator plate, and sewn into place. The abundant blood supply of the flap promotes rapid neovascularization and favorable cosmetic outcomes. The video highlights the advantages of the Martius flap, such as low morbidity and the ability to treat relatively large defects and radiation-induced fistulas.
