Sumario:The pedicled anterolateral thigh flap, with or without the vastus lateralis muscle, has been described for pelvic exenteration defect reconstruction. However, its use as a free flap for this type of defect is not routinely followed. To reconstruct an extensive pelvic defect in the presence of two ostomies, we describe a free anterolateral thigh flap with deep inferior epigastric pedicles as recipient vessels.
