Abstract:
A new method for the treatment of an enterocele is described and illustrated with a case report. In a patient with Ehlers Danlos syndrome, a pedicled muscle sparing transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap was used to fill the pelvic inlet and rectovaginal space. The flap prevents descend of bowel into the pelvic inlet and rectovaginal space. The patient's defecation problems and pelvic discomfort were resolved. The technique does not require the use of a synthetic mesh and causes little donor site morbidity.
