BACKGROUND: Among the myocutaneous island flaps applied for reconstruction of large soft-tissue defects after ablative surgery for malignomas, the pectoralis major flap is the one most frequently used. In comparison, the sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous island flap is not as popular.
METHODS: We report on our experiences with the superiorly based sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous (SCM) island flap (cutaneous island of 6-8 cm in diameter) in seven consecutive cases after resection of malignomas of the oral cavity and the pharynx. The vascularization from the occipital artery is additionally supplied by preserving the platysma during preparation of the SCM flap.
RESULTS: Only one total cutaneous necrosis was observed in a patient who had received prior radiation. In the other 6 cases no major complications (necrosis or fistula) occurred.
CONCLUSION: When the preservation of the sternocleidoid muscle does not compromise oncologic principles as in cases with limited lymphe node involvement (N0-N1), the SCM flap appears to be a useful and simple technique, particularly in female patients compared with the pectoralis major flap, in addition to others.
