title: The use of the anteromedial thigh fasciocutaneous flap in the reconstruction of the lower abdomen and inguinal region; a report of two cases.
abstract: The use of the anteromedial thigh fasciocutaneous flap in the reconstruction of the lower abdomen and inguinal region is described. If there is a dominant vessel supplying the anteromedial thigh flap, it can be raised as an island or a free flap. When there are only slender vessels in this area, a random pattern fasciocutaneous flap can safely be created with a fasciosubcutaneous pedicle.
