Purpose/Background: Several different reconstruction techniques have been proposed after extralevator abdominoperineal excision of the rectum from primary suture of the skin, to flap and mesh closure. This video aims to describe the technique of the modified vertical abdominis muscle flap reconstruction.

Methods/Interventions: This video demonstrate the technique of robotic harvest of the right rectus abdomens muscle and the construction of modified vertical rectus abdominis muscle flap to close the pelvic defect after extralevator abdominoperineal excision of the rectum.

Results/Outcomes: The modified vertical rectus abdominis muscle flap consists on preserving the subcutaneous skin and fascia and mobilizing only the muscle in order to close the pelvic defect.

Conclusion/Discussion: The use of modified vertical rectus abdominis muscle flap is good alternative after extralevator abdominoperineal excision of the rectum.
