[Value of fasciocutaneous tensor fasciae latae island flap in the treatment of large abdominal hernias. Apropos of a case].
One case of repeated incisional hernia is reported. This hernia was initially repaired but repeated infection occurred. This hernia was then successfully treated with a fasciocutaneous tensor fasciae latae island flap. The patient was reexamined two years after surgery and presented a functional abdominal wall. Other different reconstructive possibilities of regional myocutaneous flaps are described.
