During recent years, clinical research on the donor site morbidity after free or pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap surgery has been focusing on the reduced flexion capacity of the abdominal wall. However, the rectus abdominis muscles have close interactions with their synergists and antagonists and collaborate with their ...

Desmoids tumors are rare. They often develop from the fascia and muscles of the abdominal wall. They are considered as benign, but endowed with local aggressiveness. Treatment is primarily surgical. Complete resection with large safety margins and sometimes complex reconstruction is necessary to reduce the risk of local reccurrence. WE report three cases ...
