Modified sliding myofascial flap of the rectus abdominus muscles for the closure of huge planned abdominal hernia / 中华消化外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Abdominal increment is applied to patients with abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) after severe trauma,while for some patients,intra-abdominal volume increment could not close the fascia within the primary stage.For theses patients,abdominal wound skin grafting was conducted,and the planned hernia was formed.Planned abdominal hernia developed over time,and finally huge incisional hernia was formed.This article described a modified sliding myofascial flap of the rectus abdominus muscles for definitive abdominal wall reconstruction for a patient with huge planned abdominal hernia,and a good curative effect was obtained.
