title: Total abdominal wall reconstruction.
abstract: Total abdominal wall loss results in a difficult reconstructive problem. To obtain stable, durable soft-tissue coverage and restore fascial integrity, a number of reconstructive techniques are frequently required. Use of these techniques can achieve a functional and cosmetically acceptable reconstruction.
