abstract：:A transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous free flap was electively performed for reconstructing the cutaneous cover in a patient during the early puerperium (12 hr after delivery). This flap was chosen because of the natural expansion achieved by pregnancy, and because it would cover the entire area to be reconst...
