title: The combined use of the superficial external pudendal artery flap with a flap of the anterior rectus sheath for the simultaneous cover of dorsal and volar defects on the hand.
abstract: It is not easy to provide skin cover simultaneously to both the dorsal and the volar surface of an injured hand. A case is reported in which the dorsum of the hand was covered by a superficial external pudendal artery (SEPA) axial pattern flap (Dias, 1984) and the volar surface by a flap fashioned from the anterior rectus sheath, which in turn was covered with a split-skin graft. A good result was obtained.
