title: [The use of pediculated super-long randomized flap in repairing soft tissue defects of the head and neck].
abstract: A double-pediculated randomized flap of the shoulder and thorax was designed. The flap was transferred to cover the wound on the recipient area. The wound on the donor site was closed directly or covered by split skin graft. From January 1990 to January 1997, this method was used in 10 patients. After operation, a six month to three year following up indicated that the flaps were completely survived and the soft tissue defects of the head and neck were repaired. As a consequence, the pediculated super-long randomized flap was effective in repairing soft tissue defect.
