Abstract

Background: Muscle sparing-transverse rectus abdominis flap has been widely used for breast reconstruction and the abdominal hernia or bulging at the donor site is relatively common complication. Previous studies have emphasized the fascial defects and the defect of muscle has been neglected. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the size of the rectus abdominis muscle defect and its impact on hernia or bulge formation after muscle sparing-transverse rectus abdominis flap.

Materials and methods: A retrospective study of patients undergoing unilateral or bilateral breast reconstruction with muscle sparing-transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap was performed. We compared the patient group with postoperative abdominal hernia or bulging requiring surgery with the patient group without hernia. The surgical specific data of the size of rectus abdominis muscle defect, muscle sparing type and flap weight are analyzed.  Results: We conducted a survey on a total of 160 patients, of which six patients experienced abdominal hernia or bulging requiring surgery. Comparing patient group requiring surgical treatment for hernia or bulging with patient group without hernia, there was a significant difference of the width of rectus abdominis muscle defect. The cut-off value of the width was 4.5 cm.  Conclusion: When performing MS-TRAM, minimizing the resection of rectus abdominis muscle remains crucial, especially the horizontal width.

期刊介绍: The purpose of the Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery is to serve as an international forum for plastic surgery, hand surgery and related research. Interest is focused on original articles on basic research and clinical evaluation. The scope of the journal comprises: • Articles concerning operative methods and follow-up studies • Research articles on subjects related to plastic and hand surgery • Articles on cranio-maxillofacial surgery, including cleft lip and palate surgery. Extended issues are published occasionally, dealing with special topics such as microvascular surgery, craniofacial surgery, or burns. Supplements, usually doctoral theses, may also be published. The journal is published for the Acta Chirurgica Scandinavica society and sponsored by the Key Foundation, Sweden. The journal was previously published as Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Hand Surgery.
