Vascularisation of Urethral Repairs with the Gracilis Muscle Flap
BACKGROUND The ability to achieve a long-term, stricture-free urethral repair is one of the ongoing challenges of reconstructive urologic surgery. A successful initial repair is critical, as repeat procedures are difficult, owing to distortion, scarring, and short urethral stumps. METHODS We describe a technique in which the gracilis muscle flap is laid on or wrapped around the urethral repai...
متن کاملComparison of one-stage free gracilis muscle flap with two-stage method in chronic facial palsy
Abstract Background: Rehabilitation of facial paralysis is one of the greatest challenges faced by reconstructive surgeons today. The traditional method for treatment of patients with facial palsy is the two-stage free gracilis flap which has a long latency period of between the two stages of surgery. Methods: In this paper, we prospectively compared the results of the one-stage gracilis flap ...
متن کاملClinical Factors That Predict Successful Posterior Urethral Anastomosis With a Gracilis Muscle Flap
PURPOSE We evaluated the preoperative clinical factors that affect the surgical outcome of posterior urethral anastomosis (PUA) with a gracilis muscle flap (GMF) to determine which factors predict benefit from the use of the GMF. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of 49 patients who underwent a delayed PUA with a GMF. A successful clinical outcome was defined as achieving...
متن کاملRecto-vaginal/urethral fistula: repair with gracilis muscle transposition.
UNLABELLED This study was designed to assess the efficacy of gracilis muscle transposition in repairing recto-vaginal and rectourethral fistula. All patients had fecal diversion as a preliminary or concurrent step to fistula repair. Success was defined as healed fistula after stoma closure. RESULTS Six females and four males underwent gracilis muscle transposition from 1999 to 2006. Gracilis ...
