SummaryClosure of extensive abdominal wall defects can be a very challenging task as there are no known large local or free vascularized flaps available that could cover the entire abdomen. Tensor fascia latae (TFL) has been widely used for abdominal wall reconstruction [Hill HL, Nahai F, Vasocnez LO. The tensor fascia lata myocutaneous free flap. Plast Reconstr Surg 1978;61:517–22]. However, the dimensions of the standard TFL flap limit its use in cases of large full thickness abdominal wall defects. Therefore, we have used an ingenious technique of raising the entire thigh skin as a fasciocutaneous flap (whole thigh flap) based on the concept of fusion of angiosomal territories, to reconstruct such a defect following excision of a large abdominal wall tumour.
