Abstract
Anterolateral thigh flap (ALT flap) is first found and used by Song in 1984. Classified in the perforator type flaps, ALT flaps is blood supplied by the perforators of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex thigh artery. The flap is the first of choice in many cases, those need a large soft tissue for reconstruction, especially in the cervico facial area thanks to many advantages of the flap: constants and relievable anatomic structure, large blood supply, flexible in use as well as other advantages. From 9.2016 to 10. 2020, 26 ALT flaps are dissected in fresh and Formalin cavades of mature Viet people for the anatomic research and 34 ALT flaps used for patients with soft tissue defects in cervicofacial area. The outcome is considerable with the main following conclusions:
 - ALT flap is constant and reliable in anatomy.
 - The flap is harvested relatively easy in clinical practice.
 - The use of the ALT flap is flexible with good result in reconstruction of soft tissue defects in cervico facial area.
