    Abstract:
    Prevention of hernia or bulge of the abdominal wall after TRAM breast reconstruction has been a challenge for the reconstruction surgeon. Different techniques have been described to avoid this complication. The use of anterior rectus abdominis sheath (ARAS) for the repair of various abdominal wall hernias has been well described in the literature and is the basis of the authors' technique. The authors present the use of ARAS flap in TRAM breast reconstruction. It is a simple and safe technique using autologous tissues for hernia or bulge prevention.
