    Clostridial myonecrosis caused abdominal wall loss. Successful reconstruction involved complex surgical management and musculocutaneous flaps, enabling the patient

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical reconstruction
    • Abdominal wall reconstruction
    • Management of complex abdominal trauma

    Background:

    • Clostridial myonecrosis presents a severe challenge, leading to full-thickness abdominal wall loss.
    • Prompt resuscitation and debridement are critical initial steps in managing necrotizing infections.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with extensive abdominal wall defect due to clostridial myonecrosis.
    • Multiple enteric fistulas complicated the clinical course post-initial sepsis control.

    Findings:

    • Surgical interventions included enterotomies, gastric/duodenal defunctionalization, and creation of a gastrojejunostomy.
    • Total parenteral nutrition supported the patient for three months.
    • Bilateral tensor fascia lata musculocutaneous flaps were utilized for total abdominal wall reconstruction.

    Implications:

    • This case demonstrates a successful multi-stage surgical approach for extensive abdominal wall defects.
    • Restoration of abdominal integrity and function is achievable even after severe necrotizing infections.
    • Musculocutaneous flap reconstruction offers a viable solution for complex abdominal wall reconstruction.
