Abstract
Abdominal wall complications of TRAM flap breast reconstruction are well described. Synthetic mesh abdominal reinforcement is believed to decrease the incidence of these complications. An innovative technique with commonly available suture anchors has been used in a case of recurrent abdominal laxity after a TRAM flap. Osseous fixation of synthetic mesh with the Mitek GII suture anchor will undoubtedly be used more widely in abdominal wall reconstruction.Keywords
