    TITLE: THE USE OF GLUTEUS MAXIMUS TO RESTORE THE FUNCTION OF THE PELVIC DIAPHRAGM IN THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PELVIC OUTLET AFTER ABDOMINO-PERINEAL RESECTION: A CASE SERIES. THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR PELVIC OUTLET RECONSTRUCTION BASED ON A SINGLE, PEDICLED, GLUTEUS MAXIMUS MUSCLE. A CASE SERIES PRESENTING 4 PATIENTS UNDERGOING RECONSTRUCTION FOLLOWING ABDOMINO-PERINEAL RESECTION (AP RESECTION), BETWEEN 2013 AND 2018, WAS PERFORMED, IN A TERTIARY CENTRE WITH AN ESTABLISHED SERVICE PROVIDING ABDOMINAL AND PERINEAL RECONSTRUCTION. THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF FOLLOW UP WAS 3 YEARS. IN TWO CASES, THE GLUTEAL MUSCLE FAP RECONSTRUCTION WAS PERFORMED AT THE TIME OF THE PRIMARY SURGERY. IN THE REMAINING CASES, THE GLUTEAL MUSCLE FLAP WAS USED TO RECONSTRUCT PELVIC OUTLET DEFECTS IN PATIENTS WHO HAD DEVELOPED SYMPTOMATIC HERNIATION OF THEIR INTRA-ABDOMINAL CONTENTS IN THE POST-OPERATIVE PERIOD FOLLOWING THE ORIGINAL AP RESECTION. THE TECHNIQUE IS IDENTICAL WHETHER PERFORMED PRIMARILY OR AS A DELAYED PROCEDURE. SURGERY WAS PERFORMED USING 2/0 OR 3/0 PDS SUTURE ON A ROUND-BODIED NEEDLE, A PIECE OF ALLOPLASTIC MATERIAL (PERMACOL AND PROLENE MESH), AND 3/0 MONOCRYL SUTURE. REPORTED COMPLICATIONS INCLUDE: A 76-YEAR-OLD WOMAN (N=1) - NATAL CLEFT WOUND DEHISCENCE AND DISCOMFORT AND NUMBNESS WHEN SITTING TREATMENT: RE-EXPLORATION OF THE WOUND WAS PERFORMED 1 WEEK POST-OPERATIVELY, CONFIRMING AN INTACT GLUTEUS MUSCLE FAP WITH NO EXPOSED MESH. THE WOUND SUBSEQUENTLY HEALED, AND THE DISCOMFORT AND OTHER SYMPTOMS RELATED TO HER HERNIA RESOLVED COMPLETELY. SHE REMAINED SYMPTOM-FREE AT 5 YEARS POST-OPERATIVELY. - (N=3) DEHISCENCE OF THE PERINEAL WOUND WITHIN 4 WEEKS POST-OPERATIVELY; DISCOMFORT AND NUMBNESS WHEN SITTING ON THEIR RIGHT BUTTOCK (OR LEFT BUTTOCK IN ONE CASE) FOR UP TO 6 MONTHS AFTER SURGERY. TREATMENT: NO PATIENTS REQUIRED SURGICAL MANAGEMENT FOR INFECTION OR EXPOSED MESH. THE DISCOMFORT AND NUMBNESS SUBSEQUENTLY RESOLVED. IN CONCLUSION, THE PEDICLED GLUTEUS MUSCLE FAP PROVIDES AN OPTION FOR LOCAL RECONSTRUCTION OF LARGE PERINEAL DEFECTS, AS IT CREATES AN INNERVATED MUSCLE SLING TO RESTORE THE SUPPORT FUNCTION OF THE PELVIC DIAPHRAGM, REDUCING THE RISK OF LONG-TERM HERNIA FORMATION.
