[Musculocutaneous flaps in maxillofacial surgery].
The principal general characteristics of musculocutaneous flaps are described. Originally indicated for repair of wounds and reconstructive surgery following operation for cancer, they are now employed to treat post-radiotherapy lesions, burn sequelae, and even facial asymmetry. The principal clinical features of the most commonly applied flaps are discussed with a view to defining their maxillofacial applications more precisely.
