Abdominal wall reconstruction for desmoid tumour surgery: Case report

Management of large abdominal wall desmoid tumours is complicated due to the unpredictable behaviour of desmoids and the need for laborious reconstruction of the abdominal wall after wide local excision. A multidisciplinary team approach, including surgeons, oncologists and plastic surgeons, is necessary for proper management. This case highlights the diagnostic and surgical challenges related to the reconstruction of abdominal wall defect, after radical excision of a 30×30×25 cm desmoid tumour, originating from left rectus muscle. The defect was closed successfully by a perspicuous technique of posterior component separation. The awareness of this straightforward technique will allow the surgeons to do these radical procedures with confidence and without any consternation of complex reconstructive procedures.

Desmoid fibromatosis is an uncommon soft tissue tumor that is locally aggressive and can result in both pain and limited range of motion (ROM). The rehabilitation protocol is designed to promote optimal recovery and functional outcomes by following a phased approach. Initially, the focus is on managing pain and performing passive ROM exercises immediately after surgery. As the weeks progress, the exercises transition to active-assisted and then active ROM exercises. Additionally, strengthening exercises, manual therapy techniques, and functional training are incorporated to improve muscle strength, flexibility, and coordination. The goal of the rehabilitation journey is to ensure a safe return to daily activities while closely monitoring for any signs of recurrence or functional deficits. This comprehensive approach highlights the importance of collaboration between surgical teams, rehabilitation specialists, and patients in order to achieve successful outcomes.
