Anatomical and Functional Recovery of Neurotized Remnant Rectus Abdominis Muscle in Muscle-Sparing Pedicled Transverse Rectus Abdominis Musculocutaneous Flap
BACKGROUND Pedicled transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps typically sacrifice the entire muscle. In our experience, the lateral strip of the rectus abdominis muscle can be spared in an attempt to maintain function and reduce morbidity. When the intercostal nerves are injured, muscle atrophy appears with time. The severed intercostal nerve was reinserted into the remnant lateral str...

متن کاملUmbilical necrosis post unilateral pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap.
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 کاملThe pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap: indications, techniques, and outcomes.
Breast reconstruction has evolved significantly during its short, 40-year history. What began as limited reconstruction through the use of local skin flaps has now become an entire array of procedures including novel autologous flaps and new techniques in implant/expander use. Throughout this evolution, the primary goal of reconstruction has always remained the same: to recreate the most natura...
متن کاملRecovery after transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap breast reconstruction surgery.
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To assess pain and activity limitations and to determine realistic goals for recovery after a transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap breast reconstruction in a standard rehabilitation and recovery program. Assessing patient satisfaction with educational information is a secondary objective. DESIGN Before and after comparison. SETTING A National Cancer Instit...
