title: [A sub-pectoral gliding flap for covering the lateral triangle of the neck].
abstract: The subpectoral connective tissue can be isolated and transferred on a vascular pedicle (pectoral branch of the thoracoacromial artery). It was demonstrated by cadaver dissection that this flap covers the fossa supraclavicularis and can reach the mandibular angle and in some cases the cheek. This flap was used clinically to envelope the fibrotic brachial plexus after neurolysis, in the treatment of a pain syndrome in which several simple neurolyses had previously failed.
