Taylor flap (Oblique Rectus Abdominus flap) for perineal reconstruction after abdominoperineal resection. Short and long terms morbidity. A single center series of 140 patients.

Abdominoperineal resection (APR) leads to a substantial loss of tissue and a high rate of complications. The Taylor flap is a musculocutaneous flap that is used in reconstruction after APR.Our objectives were to analyze the short and long-term morbidity of reconstruction with a Taylor flap (Oblique Rectus Abdominus flap) after APR and to identify the risk factors for post-operative complications.
