Abstract
Rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap (RAMF) was used to cover the wide defect created after excisional surgery of 42 patients of carcinoma breast, 6 of penile cancer with inguinal metastasis and 2 of carcinoma anal canal and 2 of sarcoma chest wall. Complications of RAMF included cuticular necrosis, wound infection, seroma formation, flap edema which was managed conservatively or by minor surgical procedures.
