The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap is a thin, pliable, and versatile flap used mainly for extremities and head and neck reconstruction. We presented 3 cases of SCIP flap reconstructions. Two pediatric cases for the reconstruction of traumatic sequelae of the hand and dorsal foot. One adult case for the reconstruction of a severe burn of the dorsal hand. Conclusion: The SCIP flap is ideal for the reconstruction of the dorsal aspect of the hand, foot, and flexion crease. Despite the anatomical variations in the origin of the superficial circumflex iliac artery, the use of microsurgical techniques and super-microsurgery allows safe harvesting of a thin flap of moderate to large dimensions, with low morbidity in the donor area.
