Abstract
After radical abdomino-perineal excision for carcinoma of the ano-rectal region a successful primary reconstruction can make all the difference to the physical and functional well being of the patient, quite apart from shortening the period of stay in hospital. The versatility of the myocutaneous flap is now well recognised and in this case report we describe a one-stage repair of a large perineal defect using a bilobed flap which combines the inferior gluteus maximus myocutaneous flap and the tensor fasciae latae myocutaneous flap.
