Abstract

A 38-year-old man developed an infection that led to necrosis of the abdominal wall after perforation of a gastric ulcer. A split-thickness skin graft over the abdominal viscera was used to achieve temporary primary closure. After full systemic and local stabilisation, it was reconstructed with a free innervated latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap.
