We have devised a small saphenous island flap and successfully used in 6 patients for repairing soft tissue defect of the hell and the sole. After its transference, the small saphenous vein was anastomosed to the large saphenous vein over the ankle in order to obtain the blood supply from the small saphenous vein and blood return through the large saphenous vein. The advantage of this flap is that the vessels are superficial with large caliber so that it is easy to do anastomosis without any influence to the donor area. We believe that this flap can be used to repair soft tissue defect of the leg and foot. In this article, the operative method and advantages and shortcoming are introduced.
