Reconstruction of Perineum and Abdominal Wall

Innervated Pedicled Gracilis Flap for Dynamic Abdominal Wall Reconstruction

“… 4 , 5 Pedicled gracilis flaps have been routinely used in reconstructing perineal defects and for vaginal reconstruction. 6 In our literature search, there was only 1 study on the use of an innervated gracilis for abdominal wall hernia repair described by Venugopalan 7 in 1980. The flap was used to repair a midline abdominal incisional hernia in 20 patients with 0% recurrence rate.…”
