“… 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.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
