## Abstract The gracilis muscle, based on the dominant pedicle, has been used extensively for free tissue transfer. Recent studies have described the constant anatomy, ease of dissection, and low donor‐site morbidity of the distal segmental gracilis free muscle flap. We present three cases of free
The various methods of transposition of the gracilis muscle in order to serve as an anal neo-sphincter have progressed in recent years. Tetanic contraction can be achieved by converting Type II muscle fibers into Type I by use of chronic, low frequency electrical stimulation. In order to guarantee a
## Abstract The gracilis muscle is one of the most extensively used muscles for free tissue transplantation. Its advantages are low donor‐site morbidity with a concealed donor scar, a constant anatomy with large‐diameter vessels, and the potential for a neurosensory flap as well as a large skin pad
