✦ Synopsis

Seven large defects of the lower torso were closed with rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps: two large groin defects, three abdominal wall defects, and two open lateral pelvic wounds. Five of the flaps were inferiorly based and two superiorly based. The donor site was closed primarily unless a large skin paddle was taken, in which case the donor site was skin grafted. The central location, excellent blood supply (superior and inferior epigastric arteries plus abundant cutaneous perforators), and length and thickness of the rectus abdominis muscle make it a versatile flap for abdominal wall and lower torso defects.

## Abstract Rectus abdominis flaps, whose blood supply is mainly provided by superior and deep inferior epigastric vessels, are suitable not only for local transfer but also as free flaps. Based on abundant anastomoses of deep inferior epigastric vessels with other vessels such as superior epigastr

This article reports our experiences treating soft tissue and bone defects in the lower extremity with free flaps. One of the most common causes for lower extremity wounds are high-energy injuries. These kinds of injuries contain soft tissue and bone defects beyond neurovascular complications. The r

Total loss of both lips is fortunately rare as reconstruction of such defects poses an enormous challenge. We present a case of concomitant loss of both lips as a result of fulminant pneumococcal septicemia, which was reconstructed with a free vertical rectus abdominis myocutantous flap due to lack
