Radiological incidence of donor‐site incisional hernia and parastomal hernia after vertical rectus abdominus myocutaneous flap‐based reconstruction following colorectal surgery

A vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (VRAM) flap is commonly used to reconstruct perineal defects for low rectal and anal cancer. The incidence of midline incisional hernias after VRAM reconstruction varies from 3.6% when detected clinically to 50% when detected radiologically. The aim of this study is to accurately determine the radiological incidence of donor‐site incisional and parastomal hernia following VRAM reconstruction.
