Abstract:
The anterior chest is an excellent donor site for cervicofacial reconstruction. Studies of chest flaps began as early as 1988 in xijing Hspital. We created a new flap called the subclavicular flap, which was pedicled by the thoracic branch of supraclavicular artery. This flap shares the similar vascular territory of the deltopectoral flap and is mainly used for reconstruction of cervicofacial wounds. The supraclavicular flap has the same vessel origin of supraclavicular flap but is pedicled by the different branch, the deltoid branch. Its vascular territory locates on the shoulder region. Therefore, many differences and relations exist between the two flaps and there are also some disputes. To enhance the understanding of the two flaps, presenting a summary on the two flaps, especially for their relations and differences.
