Superior Epididymal Artery-Based Paraepididymal Adipofascial Flap: An Experimental Adipofascial Flap Model in the Rat.

The number of reported adipofascial flap models in animals is low, and they are mostly limited to flaps based on epigastric vessels. Superior epididymal artery-based paraepididymal adipofascial flap can be used as a pedicled flap model for studies focusing on adipofascial and/or pedicled flap physiology. Uncomplicated surgical technique and short operative time make this flap a valuable alternative to other flap models.
