| The SIEA flap, or the Superficial Inferior Epigastric Artery flap,
uses small vessels for blood supply that course in the fatty layer just below the skin of the abdomen. In some women, these vessels are adequate for use in reconstruction, and therefore
the surgical dissection is even shallower than the DIEP flap. In both types of procedures, the muscle is completely preserved.
