[Gracilis muscle flaps for covering losses of perineal substance in cancer surgery].
Myocutaneous or purely muscular flaps were used in 14 patients after extended surgical excision in the perineal region. When taking out the flap, its one-pedicle and relatively weak blood supply must be taken into account. With this precaution, this technics can always be used for perineal resurfacing, particularly after total vulvectomy. In pelvic exenteration and amputation for anorectal cancer, it enables surgeons to fill the muscular gap, which seems to improve the post-operative course. It can also be used for vaginal, penile or sphincteric reconstruction.
