A rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap can provide a large amount of tissue for defect coverage. Rarely a flabby and redundant abdominal tissue was used as a huge extended flap. We report a case of recurrence malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the thigh which was radically resected. The resultant massive defect was success reconstructed with an extended pedicle inferiorly based rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap.

Background: Prior research linking myosteatosis with cognition in older adults has been conducted in relatively homogenous populations with narrow age ranges. We evaluated if abdominal myosteatosis was associated with processing speed in a multiethnic cohort of middle aged and older adults.
Methods: The sample included 1,268 adults (46-86 years-old, mean 63±9 years, 53 % female, 41 % White, 20 % Black, 14 % Chinese, and 25 % Hispanic), a subset from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.

Purpose: Trocar site hernias impact 1-10% of patients undergoing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, typically at the 10 mm port site. Risk factors identified for trocar site hernias include obesity and age; however, little is known about the impact of pre-existing diastasis rectus abdominus (DRA) on trocar site hernia rates. Therefore, we aimed to determine the impact of pre-operative DRA on trocar site hernia rates after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Background: Pregnancy can alter the rectus abdominis, which abdominoplasty can potentially correct.
Objectives: This study aims to examine these muscle changes during pregnancy and evaluate how effectively abdominoplasty with double folds of the rectus abdominis tightens the muscle.
Methods: We collected clinical data from nulliparous and pregnant patients who had abdominoplasty with double folds of the rectus abdominis.

Athletic pubalgia is a relatively uncommon injury that is not fully understood. There are few high-level studies comparing treatments of athletic pubalgia, and this investigation seeks to utilize original articles to compare two common techniques for treatment of athletic pubalgia. The purpose of this study is to compare two prominent procedures, i.

Diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) is an acquired condition defined by a widening of the linea alba exceeding 2 cm and the subsequent separation between the two medial margins of the rectus muscles, accompanied by a laxity of the ventral abdominal muscles, and often by ventral midline hernias. It is a quite common problem in women after pregnancy. In addition to the aesthetic implications resulting from the swelling of the anterior abdominal wall in the case of increased pressure within the abdominal cavity, DRA leads to several physical functional disorders, including muscle weakness, prolapses of the pelvic organs, urinary and fecal incontinence, low back and pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction.
