Abstract

Different methods have been reported to reconstruct groin defects brought about by hidradenitis suppurativa (HS); however, it has been challenging to achieve favourable outcomes that serve both cosmetic and functional purposes. In this report, we present a case of a groin HS defect that was reconstructed using a combination of abdominal flap and gluteal thigh flap (GTF). A 47-year-old female patient underwent extensive excision of the infra-umbilical abdominal and bilateral groin HS, resulting in a defect that was reconstructed using a combination of abdominoplasty, skin grafts, and bilateral GTFs. The use of the GTF in this reconstruction has achieved beneficial outcomes.
