Abstract

LEAL SALAZAR, A.A. et al. Extended trapezius fasciomyocutaneous flap for reconstruction after head and neck tumoral resection. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2011, vol.37, n.4, pp.381-384. ISSN 1989-2055.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0376-78922011000400010.

Head and neck defects caused by tumoral resection could be a difficult task for a plastic surgeon. We present a clinical case of reconstruction using an extended trapezius myocutaneous flap based on dorsal scapular artery, in the occipital region. This flap can reach the neck, the orbit and the vertex of the head so it may be useful for treating large defects in these areas.

Keywords : Head and neck defects; Trapezius; Myocutaneous flap; Extended flap.
