title: [Systematic indications of various free transfer flaps in the area of the head and neck].
abstract: Many microsurgical free flaps have been described to tackle various problems in the head and neck. The authors present a system of indications which has proved to be suitable as judged by the functional and cosmetic results obtained. The harvesting of these flaps requires versatile training in surgical techniques for the different anatomical areas. This system of indications comprises the free fasciocutaneous forearm flap, jejunal loops, the fasciocutaneous parascapular flap, iliac crest flaps with vascularized bone and the parascapular cutaneous, latissimus dorsi osteomyocutaneous double flap.
