ABSTRACT

The head and neck cancer is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide . The surgery usually requires wide resection of soft tissue and bone. Therefore this implies a reconstruction to maintain the aesthetics and functionality to achieve good psychological outcome for the patient.
The supraclavicular flap is very useful and versatile so it can be used in cases of significant loss of tissue, because it has a wide arc of rotation that allows to reach remote areas difficult when are use other pedicle flap. It also has the advantage of providing color and texture very similar to skin tissue neck headset and low donor site morbidity.
