The reconstruction of major inferior abdominal wall defects is a rare but difficult problem. We present five consecutive cases of reconstruction following major excision for the treatment of tumors (3 cases) and radionecrosis (2 cases). The immediate reconstruction was performed by fasciomyocutaneous flaps of the thigh, pedicled on the tensor fascia lata (4 cases) or the rectus femoris (1 case). The functional results of the abdominal reconstruction are good. The sequelae of the donor site are mainly aesthetic; the function of the thigh is not affected by the harvest. These two flaps are very reliable. The rectus femoris flap has muscle throughout the extent of the flap and may be preferred in contaminated wounds or postradiation ulcers. It also allows the midline to be reached more easily.
