Abstract:
The serratus anterior/rib composite flap can be used alone or in combination with a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap in mandibular reconstruction. The combined flap is particularly useful in reconstructing large anterior mandibular defects, and 4 cases are described which illustrate its use both as a pedicled flap and as a free tissue transfer.
