Abstract

The present study included 22 flaps done in 18 patients with post-burn scarring in the face and neck. All scars were excised and the contactures were released with closure of the defect created with single staged supra-clavicular artery perforator flap. The study showed that the supra-clavicular artery perforator flap is extremely reliable local flap for reconstruction of the face and neck. It offers thin, pliable skin, with good color match, and minimum donor site morbidity. Preservation of the nerve supply for the flap offers even a supreme result keeping the sensation of the face and neck.
