    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Head and Neck Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Regional flaps are crucial for head and neck reconstruction.
    • Unusual or complex defects present unique surgical challenges.
    • Adaptability of flap techniques is essential for optimal outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate modifications for regional flaps in challenging head and neck scenarios.
    • To encourage innovative application of reconstructive principles.
    • To highlight specific techniques for complex wound closure.

    Main Methods:

    • Demonstration of modified regional flap techniques.
    • Application of time-proven principles with situational adaptations.
    • Emphasis on tubed pedicle flaps and de-epithelialization.

    Main Results:

    • Successful reconstruction in unusual head and neck defect situations.
    • Effective use of horizontally split deltopectoral flaps for combined internal and external defects.
    • Imbrication techniques for defect margin management.

    Conclusions:

    • Creative modifications of regional flaps can address complex head and neck defects.
    • The tubed pedicle flap remains a valuable tool in reconstructive surgery.
    • Specific techniques like de-epithelialization and combined flap use enhance reconstructive capabilities.
