Abstract:
The authors investigated musculocutaneous flaps, paying particular attention to vascular anatomy, the development and length of their main vessels, their potential arc of transposition. Beyond that, their applications for soft tissue coverage in the head and neck region and procedures for coverage of the donor site were studied. When compared with the literature, the results show that pedicled musculocutaneous and osteomusculocutaneous trapezius flaps are especially suited for reconstructive surgery of the head and neck.
