In this study, an island groin flap was used for a satisfactory reconstruction of soft tissue defects of the lower abdomen and perineal region in eight patients. This flap had several advantages; simple operation, wide range of coverage, large rotation arc, direct closure of the donor site and no sacrifice of muscle in comparison with musculocutaneous flaps. It was of a great value in the reconstruction of lower abdominal wall soft tissue defects with intact underlying fascia or sufficient scarring to prevent herniation. It can be used in the reconstruction of almost all defects in perineal region
