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.
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.
