Abstract (English): Objective: To describe our experience with VRAM flaps in complex thoracic and perineal reconstructions. Materials and Methods: Multicenter case series of five patients undergoing complex reconstruction: two involving the chest wall and three involving the perineal region. Surgical indication, technique employed, early postoperative course, and complications were recorded. Long-term satisfaction was assessed through a patient survey. Results: No signs of flap compromise were observed. In the recipient site, three infections, two wound dehiscence, and two seromas occurred; at the donor site, one incisional hernia was reported. The mean operative time was 4 hours, and the average hospital stay was 21 days. All flaps maintained long-term viability. Patients undergoing perineal reconstruction reported persistent pain or discomfort, with a significant impact on quality of life. Discussion: In this small series, the VRAM flap behaved as a useful and versatile option for the reconstruction of extensive perineal and chest wall defects, although it was associated with relevant morbidity and the results should be interpreted with caution.

Abstract (Spanish): Objetivo: Describir la experiencia en el uso de colgajos VRAM para reconstrucciones complejas torácicas y perineales. Materiales y Métodos: Serie de casos multicéntrica de cinco pacientes sometidos a reconstrucción compleja: dos en pared torácica y tres en región perineal. Se registró la indicación quirúrgica, técnica empleada, evolución postoperatoria temprana y complicaciones. A largo plazo se evaluó satisfacción mediante encuesta. Resultados: No se observaron signos de sufrimiento de colgajo. En el sitio receptor se presentaron tres infecciones, dos dehiscencias y dos seromas; en el sitio donante, una hernia incisional. El tiempo quirúrgico promedio fue de 4 horas y la estadía hospitalaria media de 21 días. Todos los colgajos mantuvieron su vitalidad a largo plazo. Los pacientes con reconstrucción perineal reportaron dolor o molestias persistentes, con impacto relevante en su calidad de vida. Discusión: En esta pequeña serie, el colgajo VRAM se comportó como una técnica útil y versátil para defectos extensos en región perineal y pared torácica, con alta tasa de supervivencia y aplicabilidad en escenarios complejos. Sin embargo, aunque se asoció a morbilidad relevante, sus resultados deben interpretarse con cautela. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
