For this purpose, techniques such as MR and ICG lymphography as well as ultra-high-frequency ultrasound examinations have been developed and validated in recent years.

Modern multimodal treatment modalities, such as neoadjuvant radio-chemotherapy for anal or rectal cancer, increase the long-term survival rate while reducing the risk of local recurrence. Simultaneously, the increasing surgical radicality and higher oncological safety with wide resection margins is inevitably associated with larger and, due to radiation, more complex tissue defects in the perineal and sacral parts of the pelvic floor. Therefore, the plastic-surgical reconstruction of complex pelvic-perineal defects following oncological resection remains challenging. The reconstructive armamentarium, and thus the treatment of such defects, is broad and ranges from local, regional and muscle-based flaps to microvascular and perforator-based procedures. While the use of flaps is associated with a significant, well-documented reduction in postoperative complications compared to primary closure, there is still a lack of reliable data directly comparing the postoperative results of different reconstructive approaches.
