The role of tissue expansion in abdominal wall reconstruction.

abstract：:The arcuate line is a relevant structure when reconstructing the abdominal wall after rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap harvest. Its location is classically taught to be half the distance from the pubic symphysis to the umbilicus, but recent anatomic literature provides evidence to the contrary. Better understand...
