Abstract
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.
