The inferior rectus abdominis flap is a versatile surgical technique for reconstructing large soft tissue defects. This method has proven safe and effective for various complex cases, including chronic osteomyelitis and post-surgical reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • The inferior rectus abdominis flap is a reconstructive option.
  • This flap has been utilized since 1984.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on the experience with the inferior rectus abdominis flap.
  • To document the benefits and safety of this technique for managing large-surface soft tissue defects.

Main Methods:

  • The inferior rectus abdominis flap was employed in 60 patients.
  • It was utilized as a free flap, island flap, or pedicle flap.
  • Applications included filling bone defects and covering soft tissue defects.

Main Results:

  • Pure muscle flaps were used for chronic osteomyelitis and infected vascular prostheses.
