South Med J. 1997 Apr;90(4):399-401. doi: 10.1097/00007611-199704000-00007.

Abstract

Autologous fascia lata tissue transfer is a feasible alternative to reconstruction of the abdominal wall in selected patients. We describe a new technique using minimally invasive technology that allows harvest of the fascia lata graft without the traditional large thigh incision.
