title: The neurovascular Tranquilli-Leali flap.
abstract: A modification of the flap first described in 1935 by Tranquilli-Leali and described again by Atasoy et al (1970) is presented. The relative indications for use of the original and the modified flap are examined in the light of our experience of 116 flaps over a period of 4 years.
