Kc. Shestak et al., THE CERVICOPECTORAL ROTATION FLAP - A VALUABLE TECHNIQUE FOR FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION, British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 46(5), 1993, pp. 375-377
Four cases of lower cheek reconstruction using the cervicopectoral rot
ation-advancement flap are reported. This fasciocutaneous flap can be
raised quickly, provides excellent colour and texture match for the ti
ssues of the face, and donor site morbidity is minimal. It is an espec
ially useful method for lower cheek reconstruction following wide exci
sion of melanomas of the cheek and for advanced parotid tumours where
skin replacement is required following resection.
