Abstract:
The lateral cervical flap, comprising skin, fascia, and platysma muscle, has significant applications in the head and neck region after radical ablative surgery for cancer of the oral cavity. The flap may be used for reconstruction of the cheek, floor of the mouth, and lateral side of the tongue. It may also be used for reconstruction of the lower lip and submental area after traumatic injuries with subsequent loss of tissue.
