Summary In the total abdominal island skin flap of the rat based on both epigastric vessels in the groin postoperative development after arterial or venous or complete division of the neurovascular bundle was documented. Photographical documentation, planimetry of the surviving skin area were used as methods together with evaluation of the blood supply of the flaps by Xe-133-Clearance. The resulting new architecture of vessels was shown photomacroscopically by Indian ink injection. The function of arterial inflow and venous outflow was pointed out by microangiographical fluorescein methods. So it was possible to combine special operation methods with definitive new vessel structures, typical necrotic areas and postoperative mean value clearance results. Caused by the difference of the Xenon clearance results in the singular case this method was not able to give a secure prognosis concerning the survival of the special flap. The fluorescein microangiography allowed to point out the type of operation choosed and the functional evaluation of the blood supply of the flap.
