Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap is a type of pedicle-flap graft. This means that the flap is taken from a donor site but remains attached to the body at one end, with the blood supply intact. This allows the tissue to be transferred to another location on the body for reconstruction, without the need for microsurgery to reattach blood vessels.
