60 CHAPTER 3 Figure 5. Schematic drawings of superficial inferior epigastric fascia (SIEF) flap positioning. The SIEF flap was tunneled subcutaneously toward the nerve re- construction (5A) without torsion of the pedicle and wrapped around the nerve graft reaching both anastomoses (5B) without tension on the reconstructed nerve. The flap edges were trimmed (5C) and two 10-0 nylon sutures were placed to secure the position of the SIEF flap (5D). With permission of the Mayo Foundation, Copyright Mayo Foundation 2019.
