Abstract
A new neurovascular, island, myocutaneous flap, including the pectoral is major, was created in a rat model. This model is useful for the obs ervation of muscle degeneration and skin changes due to ischemia or de nervation. Although this model requires a delay procedure, it allows t he flap, that can be used as a free myocutaneous flap, to be raised re liably.
