Gracilis muscle flap for closure of rectourethral fistula
The Journal of Urology
|July 1, 1979
Abstract:
A gracilis muscle flap can be used to close a rectourethral fistula caused by operative trauma and radiation. The flap is rotated easily into the perineum, brings vascularized muscle to irradiated and/or traumatized tissue and is a mechanical barrier between the urethra and the rectum.
