Abstract

Background: Advanced colorectal cancer can lead to abdominoperineal resection (APR) which results in large loss of perineal tissue. The pelvic floor can be reconstructed by replacing the removed tissue with a musculocutaneous flap, which also facilitates the healing process. Several reconstructive options have been described included vertical rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (VRAM) and gluteus maximus musculocutaneous flap (GM).
