title: [The inquinal-flap-anatomical studies of the axial vessels and their course].
abstract: In plastic surgery of the hand the groin-flap is preferred to other axial pedicled flaps for practical and cosmetic reasons. This groin-flap described by McGREGOR and JACKSON 1972 is based on the superficial circumflex iliac artery (Arteria circumflexa ilium superficialis = "A. cis."). Details concerning the origin and course of the A. cis. may best be described with reference to the two osseous prominences that can be palpated through the skin of the inguinal region; the anterior superior iliac spine (S) and the pubic tubercle (T) (Fig. 1).
