To our knowledge, no standardized approach has been described that combines visceral surveillance with abdominal wall reconstruction in this setting. We report a case of a 43-year-old man who sustained a 22,000-volt electrical injury with 30% total body surface area burns and a full-thickness lower abdominal wall defect (16 × 13 cm) exposing the intact peritoneum. Triple-contrast computed tomography on day 3 excluded bowel perforation. On day 22, diagnostic laparoscopy was performed for delayed visceral surveillance; in the absence of bowel pathology, intraperitoneal onlay mesh reinforcement was performed during the same procedure. On day 27, a bipedicled anterolateral thigh fasciocutaneous flap was elevated; sequential 10-minute bulldog clamp testing of each perforator produced equivalent reductions in perfusion, prompting a 4-day delay for choke-vessel maturation. On day 31, the flap was re-elevated and transposed, with the fascia lata sutured to the anterior rectus sheath as a second reinforcement layer superficial to the intraperitoneal onlay mesh. At the 6-month follow-up, the patient demonstrated complete wound healing, stable abdominal wall integrity without clinical hernia on physical examination or with Valsalva maneuver, independent ambulation with a below-knee prosthesis, and return to modified work duties. This integrated single-stage laparoscopic approach combining delayed visceral surveillance with definitive abdominal wall reinforcement may inform management of similar injuries.</p>","PeriodicalId":20149,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open","volume":"14 10","pages":"e8145"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13652395/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149169977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Established risk factors include axillary lymph node dissection, radiation therapy, and the extent of mastectomy resection. Timing of reconstruction, however, especially in obese patients undergoing implant-based reconstruction, has not been clearly delineated.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Retrospective TriNetX cohort of obese adults undergoing implant-based breast reconstruction compared immediate versus delayed timing using propensity matching, assessing short- and long-term complications, including lymphedema, via risk ratios and survival analyses.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among 6082 obese patients, 1944 matched pairs underwent immediate or delayed implant-based reconstruction. Immediate reconstruction showed higher 90-day complications and a persistently increased risk of lymphedema through 5 years, confirmed by Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Among obese patients undergoing implant-based breast reconstruction, immediate reconstruction is associated with higher rates of early postoperative complications and a persistent increase in postmastectomy lymphedema risk compared with delayed reconstruction.</p>","PeriodicalId":20149,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open","volume":"14 10","pages":"e8135"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13641661/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149113793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
