Abstract:Objective To explore the application effect of supraclavicular pedicled skin flap in repairing the defect of head and neck tumor after multiple treatments of surgery or radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Methods Three patients with defect of head and neck tumor after multiple treatments of surgery or radiotherapy or chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed, who were repaired with pedicled supraclavicular flap. Results The flap was survived well in all 3 patients during postoperative follow-up, without infection, necrosis and other complications. One of the 3 patients failed to completely repair the defect due to the larger defect, and the remaining defect was cicatrically healed 3 months later. The other 2 cases of the patients recovered well. Conclusions The supraclavicular pedicled skin flap has rich blood supply and good elasticity, which can be used to repair complicated defects of head and neck tumors after multiple treatment of surgery or chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The application of the repairing can improve the appearance of patients for high quality of life.
