Anal sphincter, together with the mechanisms controlling its action, is one of the most important functions of human body. A gradual decrease of this function due to various diseases or a sudden loss subsequent to a major trauma to perineal region, may result in many physical and psychological problems. In this case, a 35 year-old female patient who had a traffic accident was discussed. She had a very havy blast injury to pelvi-gluteal and perianal regions including anal sphincters. An urgent operation was performed for debridement of necrotic tissues and for diverting loop colostomy to protect perianal region. At the second operation a neosphincter was constructed by using gracilis muscle flaps. The sphincter function was restored and the patient has regained the ağabeylity of continence almost completely by 3 months. As a result we may say that, this method could be used for anal reconstruction for selected cases.
