Abstract
Since abdominal wall defects pose a tough challenge to surgeons, methods to solve the problem are attractive. This case report concerns about the combined use of biological mesh and autogenous pedicled demucosalized small intestinal sheet for abdominal wall reconstruction. An 8-month follow-up revealed favorable outcome. Properties that make the method appealing include decreased infection risk, increased strength and viability. It is a novel, safe, and effective method for abdominal wall reconstruction but still requires further studies.
