Description

<p>A total of 10 patients with abdominal wall metastasized visceral cancer underwent reconstruction of full-thickness abdominal wall defects after metastatic tumor ablation using free or pedicled perforator flaps. The primary tumor sites were as follows: colon in 3, stomach in 2, urinary bladder in 2, bile duct in 2, and rectum in 1. One patient was considered to have port-site recurrence after endoscopic surgery. No primary malignant tumors of the abdominal wall were included in this series.<BR>For reconstruction, 3 free anterolateral thigh flaps, 4 pedicled anterolateral thigh flaps and 3 pedicled deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flaps were used. The dynamic reconstruction procedure with innervated vastus lateralis and anterolateral thigh flap was not employed.<BR>All flaps completely survived. Postoperative complications included one case of mild adhesive ileus and one case of MRSA pneumonia resulting in abdominal wall abscess.</p>
