title: [Gracilis muscle transplant for delayed healing of the perineal wound (author's transl)].
abstract: Delayed perineal wound healing frequently complicates a proctocolectomy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. In almost half of the patients the eviscerated dead space is not closed 6 months after surgery. A new technique is described. The gracilis muscle can be used as a transplant to fill the perineal cavity. It is an easy procedure that solves a difficult problem.
