Treatment of cervical burn contracture with two fasciocutaneous flaps.
A case of cervical obliteration following a chemical burn is reconstructed with 2 fasciocutaneous flaps transposed from the upper chest. The technique is rapid and yields good quality long-term results. It compares favorably with skin grafting and distant flap repair in ease of execution as well as aesthetic and functional results. The donor defect may be problematic in certain cases.
