The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a pedicled anterolateral thigh (p‐ALT) flap for preventing EPS.MethodAll cases of TPE at the National Cancer Center Hospital in Tokyo between 2008 and 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The main indication for TPE was colorectal cancer, with some other malignancies. Background factors, surgical outcomes and postoperative complications were compared between patients who underwent primary suture closure (the PC group) and those who underwent p‐ALT flap reconstruction (the flap group).ResultsA total of 114 patients underwent TPE during the study period. Twenty patients in whom a different procedure was performed or a different flap was used for reconstruction were excluded, leaving 94 for analysis (PC group, n = 54; flap group, n = 40). There was no significant between‐group difference in patient characteristics. Severe pelvic abscess developed in 12 patients (22.2%) in the PC group and 2 (5%) in the flap group. Multivariable analysis identified a significantly lower risk of severe pelvic abscess in the p‐ALT flap reconstruction (OR 0.07, 95% CI 0.01–0.58, p = 0.01). EPS‐related readmissions were more common in the PC group [37.0% (20/54) vs. 25% (10/40)].ConclusionsThe risk of severe pelvic abscesses and readmission for EPS was significantly lower after perineal reconstruction with a p‐ALT flap. Perineal reconstruction with this flap is a feasible and effective method in TPE. 10.1111/codi.17239 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
