Trial of Collagen Mesh for Prevention of Ventral Hernia After Surgery for Advanced Pelvic Cancer
Randomized Controlled Trial of Collagen Mesh for Prevention of Ventral Hernia in Patients With Vertical Rectus Abdominis Musculocutaneus Flap for Advanced Pelvic Malignancy

The aim of the present project is to investigate whether use of biological mesh at the donor site of the rotation flap in closure of the abdominal wall reduce the frequency of incisional hernia formation compared to the usual abdominal wall closure after abdominal rotation flap operation in surgery for advanced pelvic cancer.
