ABSTRACT:Supraclavicular island flap has a relatively thin skin island tissue and has an arc of rotation close to the head and neck region. Reconstructive procedures of oral cavity, laryngopharyngeal region and cutaneous region of the face can be done with this flap. Patients who are not candidates for micro vascular flaps, this flap can be readily used in head and neck reconstructions. This flap also reserves pectoralis major and deltopectoral flaps as salvage with minimum morbidity.
