How I do it ? : Supraclavicular flap reconstruction
Hanpon Klibngern, M.D.*


Abstract


Supraclavicular flap is a fasciocutaneous axial flap based on the supraclavicular artery,
a branch of transverse cervical artery. The supraclavicular flap has many advantages. These
include its thin, pliable skin paddle, easy harvesting, long flap length, and wide arc of
rotation, which are amenable to reaching various head and neck sites. The donor site can
also be closed primarily. However, the most common complication is the risk of distal flap
necrosis. This article describes the flap anatomy, flap harvesting techniques, the indications
and flap uses to guide the readers to harvesting this flap.


Keywords: Supraclavicular flap, Regional flap, Head and neck reconstruction.
