“…While the radial forearm flap, which doesn't involve muscle harvest, is most commonly applied for head and neck soft tissue reconstruction because of its pliability, large consistent pedicle and reliability, it still has limitations in coverage of extensive areas and many surgeons will choose another flap such a lattisimus dorsi or rectus abdominis. 16 These latter, however, can be bulky because of muscle content. In far eastern countries, the anterolateral thigh flap based on the lateral circumflex femoral vessels is the flap of choice for soft tissue head and neck reconstruction.…”
