[The transverse cervical flap. Indications and results].
The transverse cervical regional flap may be used for covering defects, especially after oncologic exeresis against a potentially reduced biological background in the regions of the chin, parotid gland, the ear and buccal cavity. The authors used this flap in seven cases: 5 carcinomas, an avulsive facial wound and a retractile scar of the chin. There were very good results in 4 cases, good in 2 cases, and in 1 case necrosis of anterior portion of the flap developed. As the results of the use of this flap have not been published we consider the present publication contributes to the clinical indications of the method and its limitation.
