[A method for eliminating mandibular defects with a complex graft based on the sternocleidomastoid muscle]

Studies of surgical anatomy of the sternocleidomastoid muscle with the adjacent skin and clavicle site helped determine the variants of entry of the major neurovascular bundle into the muscle in surgical repair of mandibular defects with complex transplants on a mobile neurovascular pedicle. The location of "portae" does not depend on the patient's sex and is determined by age and constitutional type. The location of muscular port determines the pattern of the transplant.
