title: Post hemipelvectomy incisional hernia.
abstract: Incisional hernia is a very rare complication after hemipelvectomy. Very few references are reported in the literature. A rare case of post hemipelvectomy incisional hernia is presented with a unique method of reconstruction using a combination of monofilament polypropylene mesh and a de-epithelialized skin flap in such a way that it provided double breasting of dermal flaps.
