title: [Biologic bases of musculo-cutaneous flaps most frequently used in cervico-maxillo-facial surgery].
abstract: An anatomical investigation on the vascular supply to "Pectoralis major", "Trapezius lateralis" and "Latissimus dorsi" muscolo-cutaneous flaps is presented. The AA. call particular attention to the vascular supply of the cutis going beyond the muscular borders. In this way we can determine the maximal width of the flap it is possible to achieve, without previous autonomization and without trophic problems.
