Abstract EN
Degloving injuries to anterior abdominal wall are rare due to the mechanism of injury.
Pedicled tensor fascia lata is known to be a versatile flap with ability to reach the lower anterior abdomen.
A 34-year-old man who was involved in a road traffic accident presented with degloving injury and defect at the left inguinal region, sigmoid colon injury, and scrotal bruises.
At investigation, he was found to have pelvic fracture.
The management consisted of colostomy and tensor fascia lata to cover the defect at reversal.
Though he developed burst abdomen on fifth postoperative day, the flap healed with no complications.
