Technical Refinements of Supraclavicular Artery Island Flap With Submuscular Tunnel for Reconstruction of Remote Head and Neck Postburn Scars
The SCAIF is reliable for reconstructing postburn deformities in the head and neck region. Our results indicate that the increased pedicle length and the submuscular tunnel allow reliable distant flap transfer without the risk of excessive traction or vessel kinking.
