| Popis: |
The gracilis flap is one of the most widely used flaps due to its reliable pedicle, versatility, and low donor site morbidity. It is commonly used for facial reanimation, as a functional flap, and for soft tissue coverage such as in breast reconstruction. The gracilis muscle is larger and shorter in pigs as compared with humans. The gracilis muscle attaches to the symphysis pubis and pubic arch and inserts distally into the medial surface of the distal femur. The medial circumflex artery and vein represent the dominant vascular pedicle of the flap. The dominant vascular pedicle is located under the muscle. The length of the pedicle is 5 cm and the external diameter of the artery and vein is 4 mm and 3 mm respectively. |
