    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Head and Neck Surgery

    Background:

    • Large soft tissue defects in the neck present significant reconstructive challenges.
    • Traditional methods may have limitations in achieving optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.
    • The deltoscapular flap is a versatile option for head and neck reconstruction.

    Observation:

    • A young patient sustained a substantial soft tissue defect of the neck.
    • The defect required a robust and reliable method for closure.
    • Surgical intervention was necessary to restore tissue integrity.

    Findings:

    • The deltoscapular flap was utilized for the reconstruction of the neck defect.
    • The flap provided adequate tissue coverage and vascularity.
