Abstract
Total lower abdominal wall resection was required to remove a recurrent exophytic bladder carcinoma in a 36-year-old woman. The resulting 25 x 30-cm fascial defect was repaired with Marlex mesh. Bilateral rectus femoris myocutaneous flaps were rotated to close the 25 x 18-cm area of skin deficiency. These provided the advantages of robust cover of the lower abdominal wall in a single-stage procedure and primary closure of the donor sites.
