Abstrakt: The rectus abdommis myocutaneous flap, based on the deep inferior epigastric vessels, is an excellent flap for reconstructing large wounds of the groin and perineum. However, wound infection in the donor site is a potential complication, even with thorough preparation of the recipient site. We present one such case in a diabetic patient who developed a necrotizing fasciitis and evisceration following transfer of an inferiorly based myocutaneous flap. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
