Anatomical and Functional Recovery of Neurotized Remnant Rectus Abdominis Muscle in Muscle-Sparing Pedicled Transverse Rectus Abdominis Musculocutaneous Flap [PDF]
Background Pedicled transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps typically sacrifice the entire muscle. In our experience, the lateral strip of the rectus abdominis muscle can be spared in an attempt to maintain function and reduce morbidity. When the intercostal nerves are injured, muscle atrophy appears with time.

Rectus abdominis muscle atrophy after thoracotomy [PDF]
Intercostal nerve injury is known to occur during thoracotomy; however, rectus abdominis muscle atrophy has rarely been reported. We describe a 52-year-old man who underwent primary closure of esophageal perforation and lung decortication via left thoracotomy. He was discharged 40 days postoperatively without any complications.

Stretch reflexes in the rectus abdominis muscle in man [PDF]
The spinal reflex circuitry of the rectus abdominis (RA) muscle in man was investigated by the application of a mechanical tap to the muscle. Electromyographic recordings were made in ten healthy subjects, performing a series of manoeuvres, using pairs of surface electrodes placed bilaterally.

Rectus abdominis muscle flap in complex vesico-vaginal fistula repair: unique situation, uncommon option [PDF]
Background Complex vesico-vaginal fistulae (VVF) pose unique surgical challenges and necessitate the use of interposition tissue to ensure surgical success. Herein, we describe a case of complex VVF with right uretero-vaginal fistula post radical surgery
