These photographs show harvest of the gracillis muscle flap. (A) The gracilis was approached through three small incisions: a 3-cm longitudinal incision at the pes anserine, a 5-cm transverse incision in the medial aspect of the distal thigh, and a 15-cm longitudinal incision in the medial thigh. (B) The adductor longus was retracted anteriorly to cut the gracilis origin at the inferior ramus of the pubis. (C) We identified the anterior branch of the obturator nerve, medial circumflex artery, and two concomitant veins. (D) The gracilis was dissected from the thigh, with a full-length gracilis muscle (44 cm) and tendon (6 cm).
