Lower Abdominal Wall Reconstruction with Supercharged Reverse Latissimus Dorsi Muscle Flap: A Case Report
Summary
Abdominal wall reconstruction entails usage of ingenious techniques to support and protect abdominal viscera as well as provide an aesthetic contour. This is a case report wherein the lower abdominal wall was reconstructed with an ipsilateral, supercharged, reverse latissimus dorsi muscle flap with skin graft.
Such innervated motor muscle transfer by its dynamic role ensures prevention of ventral herniation of the abdominal viscera. Supercharging of vascularity and innervation of an inferiorly based latissimus dorsi muscle is a useful addition to existing methods of abdominal wall reconstruction.
