As hand is a functional part of the body, dorsal surface of digits, hand and wrist is prone to injury causing complex wound. Thin, mobile and supple skin of the dorsal wrist and hand make significant for hand functions and aesthetic. Aims of the study were feasibility of the flap in terms of survivability of Superficial Inferior Epigastric artery (SIEA) flap, complications of flap and measurement of functional & aesthetic outcomes to achieve the reconstruction goal in hugely burden regional medical college hospital. 11 SIEA flaps were done in Rajshahi Medical College Hospital from August 2019 to July 2021 on both hands among both male and female patients. Only 2 (18.18%) flaps were lost partially. Almost all the wounds were covered successfully with good functional and aesthetic outcome. So, SIEA flap is the one of the best workhorses for extensive dorsal complex wound in overburdened regional medical hospital in Bangladesh.
