title: [Reconstruction of skin defects of the cheek with a large island flap (author's transl)].
abstract: An island skin flap sliding on its own subcutaneous tissue is described to replace large cheek wound defects after tumor resection in elderly patients. The simplicity of the method and the uniformly good results in 25 cases have led the author to prefer this flap to all other types of local flaps.
