  • Title: Cranial coverage involving scalp, bone and dura using free inferior epigastric flap.
    Author: Miyamoto Y, Harada K, Kodama Y, Takahashi H, Okano S.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 1986 Oct; 39(4):483-90. PubMed ID: 3779195.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of successful reconstruction of scalp and skull defects are described. The advantages of the free inferior epigastric flap are that it is large enough to cover massive defects of the head and has an excellent vascular pedicle which allows it to be directly sutured to recipient vessels in the neck without interpositional vein grafts.
