Reconstruction of an abdominal wall defect using a latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous free flap after high-intensity focused ultrasound: a case report

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation is a safe and effective minimally invasive option for treating uterine fibromas, but it can cause complications such as abdominal wall defects. Reconstruction of defects be challenging, latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous free flap used to restore the integrity myofascial layer provide external cutaneous coverage. Herein, we present case report 37-year-old woman who underwent HIFU an 8-cm fibroma subsequently developed large defect with necrosis rectus muscle. The was reconstruct muscle cover soft tissue, resulting in successful engraftment without complications. We our experience using HIFU-induced composite wall.
