ABSTRACT

Free, thinned paraumbilical perforator-based flaps, fed by a muscle perforator from the inferior, deep epigastric artery and having no muscle and little fatty tissue components, were used in two cases. This flap provides great advantages in overcoming some of the problems of the conventional rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap.
