REGIONAL FLAPS

For more extensive defects,

tissue from areas further

away from the head and

neck region may be sought

for coverage such as the DP

fascio-cutaneous flap and PM

myo-cutaneous flap from the

anterior chest wall, and LD

myo-cutaneous flap from the Deltopectoral (DP) Flap

back.

These have classically been

considered the workhorse

flaps for head and neck

reconstruction due to it’s

robust blood supply and

ease of flap harvest.
