ABSTRACT
Giant defects of the abdominal wall area pose a challenge in the handling and reconstructive treatment for plastic surgeons. The causes of these defects can be congenital or acquired, such as hernia defects, traffic accidents, gunshot and explosive wounds. Different options of reconstruction have evolved through time, from the use of mesh, local flaps and lately free myocutaneous playing an important role in reconstruction. The goals of reconstruction are to provide intra-abdominal organs protection, integrity of the abdominal wall and skin quality coverage. Many free flaps for the reconstruction of abdominal wall have been used; the most common being the dorsal free flap and anterolateral thigh flap. With those flaps it is possible to reconstruct giant defects of the abdominal wall with one surgical procedure avoiding many complications if different procedures were used.REFERENCES
