Abstract

|
Reconstruction of various defects following head and neck surgery is crucial for restoringboth function and aesthetics. Over the years, various flap techniques have been developed tomeet these demands. The supraclavicular artery flap is a versatile option readily accessiblewithin the same surgical field during head and neck surgery. Its similarity in texture, color,and contour to the facial region makes it particularly useful for reconstructing defects in theneck and lower face. Additionally, its thin and pliable nature, coupled with a moderate vol-ume, renders it suitable for a wide range of applications, including intraoral defects, pharyn-geal defects, and contour refinement in facial surgery. In this paper, we present a method forreconstructing defects in the head and neck region using the supraclavicular artery flap, anddiscuss its utility, advantages, and limitations.
