Correction of high pelvic defects with the inferiorly based rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap.

The two inferiorly based rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps are the most versatile and accessible flaps for high pelvic defects. Their primary contribution is in the obliteration of the pelvic "deadspace." At the present time, these useful flaps are generally considered only for massive defects of the perineum, groin, and pelvis, but improved flap designs will enhance their usefulness for smaller defects.

Postmastectomy reconstruction.

Reconstructive surgery following mastectomy has had an increased acceptability with improved techniques and prostheses. Plastic reconstructive procedures following prophylactic mastectomy were performed in 104 patients and following mastectomy for cancer in 88 patients. Capsular contractions have not occurred with the use of a subpectoral pocket and detection of recurrent cancer is not hampered by the materials now used.
