Technical advances in myocutaneous flap preparation have resulted in primary reconstruction now being generally indicated for @entity5 extensively infiltrating the pelvic cavity and perineum. @entity530 resection can dramatically improve the health-related quality of life (QOL) of @entity1 with locally recurrent @entity5 complicated by infection and @entity158 . However, the removal of a wide area of perineum by these two procedures often leaves a large dead space. A gluteal thigh muscle, rectus abdominis muscle, or pedicle myocutaneous flap is usually made to reconstruct such extensive @entity9 . The subject of this case report was a 76-year-old @entity1 with recurrent @entity5 in the pelvis after abdominoperineal resection. The large @entity530 , which was causing severe @entity158 , was resected and the extensive @entity9 were reconstructed using a modified maximus V-Y advancement flap. The operating time was approximately 30 min, and the @entity158 after surgery was much less severe. Moreover, she could walk the day after surgery and returned to normal daily life without requiring prolonged bed rest. No infection developed in the intrapelvic dead space postoperatively. This technique proved very useful for improving the @entity1 's QOL.
