This review covers surgical methods for neck soft-tissue defect reconstruction. It discusses local flaps, tissue expansion, and free tissue transfer, aiding technique selection.

Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Plastic surgery
  • Head and neck surgery

Background:

  • Soft-tissue defects in the neck can arise from trauma, cancer resection, or congenital anomalies.
  • Effective reconstruction is crucial for restoring function and aesthetics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the principles and techniques for reconstructing soft-tissue defects of the neck.
  • To discuss considerations in selecting appropriate surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established surgical techniques for neck reconstruction.
  • Discussion of factors influencing technique choice.

Main Results:

  • Local rotational flaps offer reliable reconstruction for certain defects.

  • Tissue expansion provides a method for gradually increasing tissue availability.
  • Free tissue transfer allows for the reconstruction of large or complex defects.

    • Conclusions:

    • The choice of surgical technique depends on defect size, location, and patient factors.
    • A thorough understanding of available methods is essential for optimal neck reconstruction outcomes.
