From: New technical approach for the repair of an abdominal wall defect after a transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap: a case report

Figure 2

Mesh augmentation using two halfmoon-shaped lightweight polypropylene meshes placed on the defects between the external oblique muscles and lineae semilunares. The meshes were fixed using resorbable single-stitch sutures. After a midline incision and adhesiolysis, the abdominal wall components were separated along the avascular plane between the internal and external oblique abdominal muscles. A midline closure in two layers was performed using non-resorbable single-stitch sutures and continuous slowly resorbable suture for the posterior wall and anterior rectus sheath, respectively.
