[Infrahyoid musculocutaneous flaps: anatomical bases and indications in cervicofacial oncologic surgery].
The infrahyoïd myocutaneous flap has been described by Wang in 1986. Its use seems still limited, although its obvious interest in head and neck reconstructive surgery, especially in oropharyngeal area. Authors expound anatomic bases of this flap, and a 62 case's experience confirming its potential.
