Abstract:
Introduction: The large defects resulting from head and neck tumour surgeries present a reconstructive challenge to surgeons. Although numerous methods can be used, they all have their own limitations. In this paper, we present our experience with cervicofacial/cervicothoracic rotation flaps to help expand the awareness and application of this flap.
Case report: of a patient who underwent repair of defects of the head and neck with cervicofacial/cervicothoracic flap in our department has been presented and clinical factors were recorded. Discusion: Cheek neoplasms are the most common indication for cervicofacial/cervicothoracic rotation flaps, followed by parotid tumours. . Defects measuring 6 cm × 7 cm × 1 cm were reconstructed by cervicothoracic flap in this case with acceptable result.
Conclusions: Cervicofacial/cervicothoracic flaps provide a technically simple, reliable, safe, efficient and cosmetic means to reconstruct defects of the head and ne ck
