abstract：:The rectus abdominis muscle has been used in reconstructive surgery as a superiorly and an inferiorly based pedicle flap as well as free flap. Since flap necrosis is unusual, the primary morbidity of the harvesting is donor-site complications, including infections, seromas, poor cosmesis, and hernias. Minimally invasi...
