摘要: Abdominoperineal resection (APR) after pelvic radiation can be complicated by an increased rate of difficult to treat perineal wound complications. In effort improve postoperative morbidity APR, myocutaneous flap reconstructions have been used. We review our recent experience with APR vertical rectus abdominis reconstruction (VRAM) preoperative radiation. A retrospective patients who underwent VRAM from December 2004 July 2008 was conducted. Outcome measures included demographics, comorbidities, length stay, complications, and mortality. Fifteen a mean age 61 +/- 9 years reconstruction. Five also required posterior vaginectomy the APR. Indications for were rectal cancer (n = 14, 93%) anal canal 1, 7%).
