Abstract
If all conventional surgical options are limited to ensuring closure of recurrent abdominal wall hernia or abdominal defects, a microsurgical technique might be used to re-establish abdominal wall stability. We use the m. latissimus dorsi as a muscle or a myo- cutaneous free flap with a microsurgical neurovascular transfer. A microanastomosis from the thoracodorsal nerve to a motoric branch of the femoral nerve in the recipient area is performed. A total of 12 patients have been treated successfully up to now.
