Abstract
The transverse upper gracilis free flap is a well-described option for breast reconstruction. The technique is a secondary choice for autologous breast reconstruction because the abdomen remains the primary donor site for breast reconstruction. However, in appropriately selected patients, the authors believe that the transverse upper gracilis flap remains a reliable flap for breast reconstruction. Its consistent anatomy, potentially reasonable donor site scar, limited functional morbidity and simultaneous two-team surgical approach make this flap a viable option for many patients. The technique, however, is not without drawbacks – known numbness of the medial thigh and the potential for chronic lymphedema of the lower leg, contour deformities of the medial thigh, and widening of the medial thigh scar need to be considered.
The current article presents a harvest technique that is reliable, rapid and addresses each of the above-mentioned limitations with specific changes in the traditional technique. The article provides video documentation of the modified harvest technique using only monopolar cautery for the dissection.

<trans-abstract xml:lang="fr"><p>Le lambeau supérieur transverse du muscle gracile est une méthode bien connue de reconstruction mammaire. Cette technique est un choix secondaire en cas de reconstruction mammaire autologue, car l’abdomen demeure le principal foyer de prélèvement en vue de ce type de reconstruction. Cependant, chez certains patients bien choisis, les auteurs sont d’avis que le lambeau supérieur transverse du muscle gracile demeure fiable pour procéder à cette reconstruction. Son anatomie uniforme, la cicatrice raisonnable potentielle au foyer du prélèvement, la morbidité fonctionnelle limitée et l’approche chirurgicale à deux équipes font de ce prélèvement de lambeau une option viable pour de nombreux patients. La technique n’est toutefois pas sans défauts : il faut tenir compte de l’engourdissement connu de la cuisse, du potentiel de lymphœdème chronique de la jambe inférieure, de la déformation du contour de la cuisse et de l’élargissement de la cicatrice de la cuisse de la partie médiale.</p>
<p>Le présent article propose une technique de prélèvement à la fois fiable et rapide et remplace chacune des limites susmentionnées par des changements particuliers à la technique traditionnelle. Il présente une vidéo de cette technique, faisant seulement appel à la cautérisation monopolaire de la dissection.</p>
