Summary:The author is describing a new simple technique in positioning the leg while harvesting the sural nerve in obese patients in the supine position. The positioning technique is simple, and all of the required pieces are readily available in most of the operating theaters. The author has used this technique in harvesting thirty nerves with ease and without complications. The main advantage of this technique is saving time and manpower while harvesting the sural nerve, as only one surgeon is required to harvest the nerve with no assistance needed. في هذا التقرير أقدم طريقة جديدة، و بسيطة لوضعية الساق عند حصاد عصب بطن الساق عند المرضى زائدي الوزن، و من ثم استخدامه لترقيع الأعصاب المصابة بدون الحاجة إلى مساعدة أثناء عملية الحصاد، و قد استخدمت هذه الطريقة في حصاد ثلاثون عصبة بدون مضاعفات.
