A TRAM (transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous) flap is a technique commonly used in breast reconstruction surgery. It involves removing tissue (including muscle, fat, and skin) from the lower abdomen and transferring it to the chest to create a new breast mound. It is not used for the reconstruction of the hand, lip, or palate.
