From: The long-term outcomes of early abdominal wall reconstruction by bilateral anterior rectus abdominis sheath turnover flap method in critically ill patients requiring open abdomen

Fig. 2

The CT findings and views of the abdominal wall. The upper panels show images obtained 6 years after performing the turnover flap method (a, b, c). The lower panels show images obtained 10 years after turnover flap method (d, e, f). The CT scans show that the appearance of flaps created using bilateral anterior rectus abdominis sheath looks similar to after onlay mesh repair (a, d). Anteroposterior views (b, e) and lateral views (c, f) of the abdominal wall in the standing position. Although slight lower abdominal bulging can be observed in the lateral views of both patients, no abdominal hernia is evident
