Abstract

Myocutaneous flaps play an important role in reconstruction of full-thickness defects of the head and neck area. In this study, a different application of the platysma myocutaneous flap for the reconstruction of full-thickness cheek defects is presented. The technique described has provided an acceptable cosmetic and functional result. It was used in four patients operated on under local anesthesia. Reconstruction of full-thickness cheek defects is easily achieved, especially for palliation in poor risk patients.
