Outcome of Supraclavicular Artery Island Flap for Reconstruction of Head and Neck Defects in Indian Population and Their Correlation with Flap Dimensions
SCAIF provides a skin paddle which is hairless, thin, pliable, and color-matched with the recipient site in the head and neck region. However, its limited reach and smaller volume should be kept in mind while planning reconstruction. The safe length of SCAIF is 16 to 17 cm (up to lower third of deltoid muscle), which makes it a suitable choice for defect of lower third of the head and neck region.
