New technical approach for the repair of an abdominal wall defect after a transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap: a case report
INTRODUCTION Breast reconstruction with autologous tissue transfer is now a standard operation, but abnormalities of the abdominal wall contour represent a complication which has led surgeons to invent techniques to minimize the morbidity of the donor site. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a woman who had bilateral transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap (TRAM-flap) breast recons...

متن کاملTransverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap for postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula
RATIONALE Numerous types of flap coverage have been reported to prevent or to repair bronchopleural fistulas. Most of the flaps were harvested from chest area. However, these pedicled flaps might not be optimal for the patient who has undergone previous radiotherapy on pulmonary parenchyma because the pedicle artery of the flap might have been injured by irradiation. Therefore, an alternative f...

We report a case of umbilical necrosis after a unilateral pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap in a patient post mastectomy. This uncommon complication of breast reconstruction is highlighted.
متن کاملIn situ transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap: a rat model of myocutaneous ischemia reperfusion injury.
Free tissue transfer is the gold standard of reconstructive surgery to repair complex defects not amenable to local options or those requiring composite tissue. Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a known cause of partial free flap failure and has no effective treatment. Establishing a laboratory model of this injury can prove costly both financially as larger mammals are conventionally used a...
