title: [Donor site morbidity in free rectus abdominis muscle flaps].
abstract: To evaluate donor-site morbidity, we used a questionnaire, which was answered by 196 patients. 152 patients underwent a medical examination. The follow-up ranged from six month to ten years. The results of this retrospective study are presented. In 16,8%, we found hernia of the abdominal wall at the donor-site and relaxation was noticed in 32% of the cases. Painful symptoms of different degrees were reported by 50% of the patients.
