Transiliac and retroperitoneal approach for coverage of sacrogluteal defects with inferiorly based rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps.
An inferiorly based rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap is transferred to the sacrogluteal region through a transiliac approach. This technique is a simple and safe alternative to obtain a short pathway from the anterior abdomen to the sacral area.
