Abstract:
Objective To explore the efficacy of prefabricated expanded cervico-scapulo-dorsal reverse axial flap combined with cervico-thoracic skin flap to repair cicatricial contracture of lateral neck. Methods Ten patients with cicatricial contracture of lateral neck were repaired by prefabricated expanded cervico-scapulo-dorsal reverse axial flap combined with cervico-thoracic skin flap. The flaps were transferred to repair the wound caused by excision of the scar on the lateral side of the neck. Results All the twenty skin flaps survived in first intention. Both the configuration and function were satisfactory after 6 to 18-month follow-up. Conclusion Prefabricated expanded cervico-scapulo-dorsal reverse axial flap combined with cervico-thoracic skin flap is an ideal method to repair the cicatricial contracture of lateral neck.
