چکیده

RATIONALE Abdominal wall defects are common after tumor resection. PATIENT CONCERNS We report an 83-year-old male patient with recurrent tumors in his abdomen, and who had an incision wound that could not be directly closed. Mesh was not suitable because the wound was infected. DIAGNOSES Abdominal wall defect result from the resection of recurrent tumor. INTERVENTIONS We carried out a vascularized ribs-pleural transfer operation. OUTCOMES After the surgery, the patient gained a functional recovery. No evidence of recurrence was noted 1 year after operation, and the patient showed no symptoms of abdominal compression syndrome. LESSONS We discuss the clinical diagnosis, treatment, and follow up and argue that the vascularized ribs-pleural transfer technique is a good method to deal with abdominal wall defects.
