Abstract

Cadaveric anatomical preparations of the deep inferior epigastric artery showed the origin, the course, and the size of the artery to be consistent with few variations. Flaps which have been dissected on this vascular system can be used as island flaps or free flaps. The indications, application, and technical details, especially with regards to closure of the abdominal wall, are discussed in nine cases. The good results achieved by the use of this flap, particularly in long and narrow defects, serve as a recommendation for this type of management.
