    Area of Science:

    • Surgical technique
    • Plastic and reconstructive surgery

    Background:

    • Abdominal flaps are utilized in reconstructive surgery.
    • Undelayed transfer of tissue flaps is desirable for improved outcomes.

    Observation:

    • Full-thickness abdominal upper quadrant flaps can be raised with extensions.
    • These flaps can be transferred on a single intercostal pedicle.

    Findings:

    • The described technique allows for undelayed transfer of abdominal flaps.
    • Clinical examples demonstrate the feasibility and application of this method.

    Implications:

    • This technique offers a viable option for reconstructive procedures involving abdominal tissue.
    • The undelayed transfer may improve graft survival and reduce operative time.
