    Area of Science:

    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Head and Neck Surgery
    • Plastic Surgery

    Background:

    • Significant advancements in reconstructive head and neck surgery over the past two decades.
    • The nape of neck flap is a valuable, though less frequently utilized, reconstructive option.
    • Comparison with more common flaps like the deltopectoral and forehead flaps highlights its unique role.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive overview of the nape of neck flap.
    • To examine the flap's historical development, anatomical underpinnings, and clinical utility.
    • To evaluate the advantages, disadvantages, and potential complications associated with its use.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and analysis of existing studies on the nape of neck flap.
    • Examination of anatomical data relevant to flap design and harvesting.
    • Synthesis of clinical case reports and outcomes data.

    Main Results:

    • The nape of neck flap has a well-defined anatomical basis suitable for various reconstructions.
    • Its application in head and neck reconstruction, while not as frequent as other flaps, has yielded significant positive outcomes.
    • A thorough discussion of its benefits, drawbacks, and potential complications is presented.

    Conclusions:

    • The nape of neck flap remains a significant and viable option in the armamentarium of head and neck reconstructive surgery.
    • Understanding its anatomical basis and clinical applications is crucial for optimizing its use.
    • Further research may elucidate its role in complex reconstructive scenarios.
