Sacrococcygeal chordoma is a malignant, slow-growing, and locally aggressive bone tumor. A wide surgical margin is recommended to prevent local recurrence and metastasis. This disease tends to cause massive defects when rectal resection and sacrectomy are required. Therefore, soft tissue reconstruction is required and a pedicled vertical rectus abdominis muscle flap (VRAM) is a viable option. Important anatomical landmarks, advantages and limitations are discussed and the procedure is described step by step. This case report presents a two-stage operation with an anterior rectal resection and VRAM flap harvest followed by a complementary posterior approach with sacrectomy and soft tissue reconstruction: approach and results. The wound completely healed in six weeks. Three years after surgery, no local recurrence or distal metastasis was detected. This two-stage strategy presents a viable and safe option for large sacrococcygeal chordomas.
