Abstrakt: Large abdominal wall and groin defects present complex reconstructive challenges. These defects typically require free flap reconstruction to bring in healthy vascularized tissue and recreate the complex full-thickness defect. A 6-year-old previously healthy girl presented to our trauma center after sustaining a close-range shotgun injury resulting in a full-thickness defect to the inferior hemi-abdomen and groin. A composite anterolateral thigh flap with fascia lata free flap was performed to reconstruct the myofascial, skin, and subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen and groin. We present the first composite anterolateral thigh flap with fascia lata for full-thickness abdominal wall and groin reconstruction in a pediatric patient.
