Summary

To evaluate the safety and feasibility of radical surgery for giant desmoid in abdominal wall accompanied with the repair of giant myofascial defect using synthetic prosthesis. We analyzed the clinical and follow-up data of 31 patients with giant desmoid in abdominal wall undergoing radical resection and immediate abdominal wall reconstruction with synthetic prosthesis from January 2007 to January 2017 retrospectively. These 31 patients were followed up for a median of 60.5 (10-121) months with complete data. No marginal recurrence, incisional hernia, and abdominal wall bulge happened. Radical resection and immediate reconstruction of giant myofascial defect using synthetic prosthesis for patients with giant desmoid in abdominal wall is safe and effective.
