| Abstrakt: |
Anterior abdominal wall is a complex fasciomuscular structure, defects of which may arise as a result of infection, trauma, malignancy and herniation. Different techniques have been devised to repair these defects with varying result, availability and cost implications. In the communication, the use of fascia lata for repair of major anterior abdominal wall defect in five patients is reported. The result suggests that this is a useful technique that is associated with satisfactory outcome and minimal morbidity. |
