In this study, 8 pigs, weight ranged from 25 to 30kg, were used. Island skin flaps with the deep circumflex iliac artery were designed as pedicle on both buttocks. In the distal half of the island skin flap, which had been made on the right buttock, a subdermal vascular network island skin flap was made by preserving the subdermal vascular network. Blood supply between the two types of skin flap was compared by skin temperature, laser Doppler, fluorescent stain, histological examination, ink perfusion microangiography and transparent specimen technique. The observation showed thatthe blood supply of the subdermal vascular network island skin flap was decreased prominently in comparison with that of the conventional island skin flap. The subdermal vascular network skin flap was actually a combination of axial pattern skin flap with randomized skin flap.
