Journal Article
·
· J. Surg. Oncol.; (United States)
The case of a woman treated for a large rectal cancer with high-dose radiation therapy and abdominoperineal resection followed by a large pelvic abscess is presented. Wound healing, reconstruction, and rehabilitation were achieved with a free latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap. The importance of providing well-vascularized tissue for wound healing in the infected irradiated wound is emphasized.
