dc.description.abstractThe vascular pedicle has a length of up to 8cms. It may be used for facial, oral cavity, oro- and hypopharyngeal soft tissue defects. If it is further dissected to its origin from the facial artery, the pedicle can be lengthened by an additional 1-2cms to reach the lateral canthus and zygomatic arch. Regional flaps like the SIF have distinct advantages over free tissue transfer flaps for selected soft tissue defects in the head and neck such as reduced operating time, donor site morbidity, level of surgical expertise required, and cost. Other regional flaps that may be considered for the oral cavity and pharynx include the buccinator, nasolabial, temporalis muscle, pectoralis major, and supraclavicular flaps.
