    Abstract:
    Since 1985, 19 cases of tissue defects were repaired with the lower abdominal cutaneous and myocutaneous flaps. Among them, 16 were free cutaneous and myocutaneous flaps and 3 island flaps. The sizes of these flaps ranged from 6 x 7 cm to 30 x 14 cm. Of them, 1 failed, 1 partially and 17 completely survived with satisfactory results. The blood supply of the lower abdominal flap differed from groin flap and seemed to have a constant vascular anatomy with a long pedicle and large diameter, so that dissection of the flap could be accomplished easily. The flap was suitable for repair of large defect of soft tissue. In this paper, improvement of operative technique and two representative cases were presented.
