Özet

The vertical trapezius myocutaneous flap is extremely reliable, with its wide arc of rotation and its considerable soft tissue bulk, when resurfacing major defects following radical tumor surgery in the head and neck region. In this paper, the use of the vertical trapezius myocutaneous flap in the reconstruction of major scalp defects will be presented and its advantages discussed.
