Ipsilateral ileal conduit placement at vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap donor site in pelvic exenteration.

Placing of ileal conduit at the time of pelvic exenteration in combination with a same-side vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap is controversial. We report our experience with the placement of the ileal conduit at the same side as the donor site of the vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap in 12 patients and describe our technical approach.
