Abstract
The reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the peritoneal region after malignant tumor resection is challenging. To reconstruct large defects, primary closure or local flaps are inadequate, and they do not provide cosmetically and functionally good results. The gracilis, gluteal, and rectus abdominis flaps are workhorse flaps for reconstructing large peritoneal defects. Surgical procedures should be carefully chosen on the basis of the size and location of the defect. In this report, we describe two cases of bilateral large defect reconstruction after malignant tumor resection using a V-shaped deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap. Our procedure is useful as it shows that single flaps can be used to reconstruct large and bilateral peritoneal defects.
