Abstract

An anatomic, histologic, and electrophysiologic study was carried out in order to determine the ditribution and cutaneous sensory territory of the epigrastric nerve in the rat. Results for nerve staining (Sihler's method) and electrophysiologic nerve mapping indicate that the neurosome of the epigastric nerve has a different autonomy than the vascular territory of the inferior epigastric artery. Based on the findings, an experimental model for neurovascular free-tissue transfer is proposed.
