Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery
Burn Scar Management

Context:

Severe cervical cicatrix deformities significantly impair function and aesthetics.
Previous reconstructive methods have limitations.
A two-stage serial approach is proposed for complex cases.

Purpose:

To evaluate the efficacy of a serial reconstruction strategy for severe cervical cicatrix deformity.
To assess improvements in cervical mobilization and contour.
To compare this strategy with single-modality reconstructions.

Summary:

Twenty-four patients with Grade III or IV cervical contracture underwent a two-stage reconstruction involving cicatrix resection, flap reconstruction, and skin grafting.
Measurements included soft tissue, osseous, and dynamic mental cervical angle (MCA).
