As far as the general extend and the localization of the defect admits, those measures may be superior to the free and musculo-cutaneous flaps in respect to esthetically good results. Several cases may demonstrate those possible methods. Besides the technical know-how, a well based planning in connection with a specific valuation of the different operative methods are the fundamental necessities for a satisfying result.
