Abstract：Objective To examine the effect of modified sliding myofascial flap of the rectus abdominis to intervene the huge planned hernia following intra-abdominal volume increment.Methods A retrospective review was made on 7 cases (4 males and 3 females at mean age of 43.4 years).Colostomy or ileumstomy co-occurred in 4 cases,pancreatic fistula in 1,intestinal fistula in 1,cholecystitis in 1.Definite abdominal wall reconstruction was performed using the modified sliding rectus abdominus myofascial flap and mean delay time was 6.4 months.Results Surgical success rate was 100％.Mean operation time was 180 minutes and mean intraoperative blood loss was 150 ml.One case of subcutaneous hematoma and one skin marginal necrosis were noted after operation,but cured later by volume drainage.There were no postoperative complications such as infection,reproductive abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS),and organ function impairment.Rectus abdominis functioned well without any other symptoms.At the follow-up of 1-21 months (mean,12.3 months),1 case had mild relapse and kept under temporary observation.Conclusion Modified sliding rectus abdominus myofascial flap is novel and effective treatment choice for huge planned abdominal hernia after intra-abdominal volume increment.
