Persistent perineal sinus after rectal surgery can cause significant issues. A rectus abdominis flap offers a safe and effective solution for complete perineal healing.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Reconstruction
  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Wound Healing

Background:

  • Persistent perineal sinus is a common complication after proctocolectomy or proctectomy.
  • This complication is associated with significant patient morbidity and challenges in management.

Observation:

  • Two cases of persistent perineal sinus following rectal surgery are presented.
  • The perineal sinus was successfully managed using a rectus abdominis flap closure technique.

Findings:

  • The rectus abdominis flap technique allows for safe and complete excision of the perineal sinus.
  • The muscle flap effectively fills the defect, promoting primary wound healing.

Implications:

  • This surgical approach offers a reliable method for resolving persistent perineal sinuses.
