Topographic anatomy and morphometry of the gracilis muscle related to pelvic transposition flaps: Perineal versus transobturatory approach
Gracilis muscle transposition via the obturator foramen is a viable alternative to the perineal route, achieving greater intrapelvic muscle length. The morphometric data on the topography and vasculature of the gracilis muscle provide a valuable basis to use the transobturatory transposition of the gracilis muscle for the reconstruction of pelvic defects.
