METHODS： Between February and October of 2007, three patients with giant defects of the abdominal wall after extensive tumor resection underwent reconstruction with a combination of HADN and omentum flap. Postoperative morbidities and signs of herniation were monitored. RESULTS： The abdominal wall reconstruction was successful in these three patients, there was no severe morbidity and no signs of herniation in the follow-up period. CONCLUSION： The combination of HADM and omentum flap offers a new, safe and effective alternative to traditional forms in the repair of giant abdominal wall defects. Further analysis of the long-term outcome and more cases are needed to assess the reliability of this technique.展开更多

Methods Form October 1992 to September 2001, 8 cases large abdominal wall defect after malignant tumors resection(10 × 10 cm-32 cm×32 cm) were reviewed. The defectcontributed:Ⅰ region, 2 cases; twin-Ⅱ region, 2; Ⅲ region, 2; Ⅰ and Ⅱ region of one side, 1 and total abdominal wall,one case, The tissue flaps of transposition included: gracilis myocutaneous flaps, 4; retus abdominal myocutaneous flaps, 2; external abdominal obligue musculo-fascia flaps, 2; latissimus dorsi muscle, tensor fasciae latae muscle and retus femoris muscle flaps each, 1. One patient used MycroMesh also. Results In the course of peroperation, the incisions of 8 cases healed in first time; total tissue flaps survived and all pateints started exercise left the bed in 3 weeks.

Methods： Four cases with large defect of abdominal wall caused by abdominal wall tumors or injuries were repaired with artificial meshes and myocutaneous flaps. Results： The cases were followed up 7 months to 2.5 years with no complications such as incisional hernia, bowel adhesion and exposure of the prosthetic materials. Conclusion： The combined use of artificial meshes contained e-PTFE and myocutaneous flaps is a reliable and effective method for repairing large defect on abdominal wall.展开更多
