    Area of Science:

    • Plastic surgery
    • Head and neck reconstruction

    Background:

    • The bilobed chest flap combines deltopectoral and anterior-superior-oblique chest flaps.
    • It is based on four perforating vessels, supporting a large surface area (480-560 sq cm).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the bilobed chest flap as an additional reconstructive method in head and neck surgery.
    • To highlight its utility in specific patient scenarios requiring extensive or multiple flaps.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of the bilobed chest flap anatomy and vascular supply.
    • Demonstration of its application for simultaneous external cervical coverage or combined internal/external lining.

    Main Results:

    • The flap provides a large, reliable tissue area for reconstruction.

  • It offers flexibility for simultaneous or combined use of its superior and inferior lobes.

    • Conclusions:

    • The bilobed chest flap is a valuable addition to the reconstructive armamentarium for head and neck surgery.
    • It addresses complex cases, including those with prior chest surgery or planned fistulas requiring multiple flaps.
