title: The transversus and rectus abdominis musculoperitoneal (TRAMP) composite flap for vulvovaginal reconstruction.
abstract: The transversus and rectus abdominis musculoperitoneal (TRAMP) flap, a novel composite flap supplied by the deep inferior epigastric vessels, was used successfully for partial vulvovaginal reconstruction following anterior and posterior exenteration. The full potential of the TRAMP flap in vulvovaginal reconstruction is being investigated further.
