Summary
The supraclavicular artery island (SAI) flap is a local fasciocutaneous flap taken from skin on the shoulder and supraclavicular area. It is becoming popular for reconstruction of head and neck defects. Local resection of the cancer is considered sufficient treatment for low-grade tumors. High-grade tumors are generally treated with surgical excision with wide margins followed by postoperative radiotherapy.
