Plast Reconstr Surg. 1996 Feb;97(2):455-9. doi: 10.1097/00006534-199602000-00029.

Abstract

The transversus and rectus abdominis musculoperitoneal (TRAMP) flap, a novel composite flap supplied by the deep inferior epigastric vessels, was used successfully for partial vulvovaginal reconstruction following anterior and posterior exenteration. The full potential of the TRAMP flap in vulvovaginal reconstruction is being investigated further.
