Gracilis muscle flap for closure of rectourethral fistula. 1979

J A Ryan, and H G Beebe, and R P Gibbons

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.
