Summary

The aim of the present project is to investigate whether use of biological mesh at the donor site of the rotation flap in closure of the abdominal wall reduce the frequency of incisional hernia formation compared to the usual abdominal wall closure after abdominal rotation flap operation in surgery for advanced pelvic cancer.

Conditions

  • Incisional Hernia
  • Pelvic Cancer

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Mesh repair

A Surgisis Gold Hernia repair graft (Cook Biotech Incorporated, West Lafayette, IN, U.S.A) is placed at the donor site of the rectus abdominis muscles used for the rotation flap before the abdominal fascia is sutured with continuous running suture.

PROCEDURE

Conventional facial closure

The abdominal facia is closed with with continuous running suture
