Abstract

Autologous tissue reconstruction is regarded as the standard for breast reconstruction. Since it was first proposed in 1992, the transverse myocutaneous gracilis flap（TMG flap）, as an alternative, has been developed a lot in autologous breast reconstruction for its distinct advantages and low donor-site morbidity. The anatomy, design, clinical application and research progress were mainly reviewed in this paper.

Key words： Transverse myocutaneous gracilis flap; Breast reconstruction; Clinical application
