“…It was a branch of the transverse cervical artery in 91% of anatomic dissections, arising from the suprascapular artery in fewer than 9% of cases (Table 1). [1][2][3][4][5]7,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Of the 146 anatomic dissections, only 2 (1.4%) were supraclavicular artery anomalies. The distance between the sterno- …”

“…8,9 The supraclavicular flap has some advantages over other regional flap options, depending on the reconstructive requirements, and is currently enjoying resurgence. This flap could become the reconstructive surgeons' workhorse in the neck and orofacial regions, and certainly offers an excellent first choice for most defects of the head and neck in low-income countries 10,11 and in patients in whom free flaps may be technically difficult.…”

The use of this flap has not been described previously from sub-Saharan Africa; the author sought to evaluate the suitability of its use in an African population, although no cadaveric supraclavicular artery flap studies have been reported in this population.…”

“…The supraclavicular artery arose in the triangle between the dorsal edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the external jugular vein, and the medial part of the clavicle. The vascular territory extended from the supraclavicular to acromial regions (Buntaro, 1928;Pallua et al, 1997;Pallua and Magnus, 2000;Di Benedetto et al, 2005;Heitland and Pallua, 2005;Pallua and von Heimburg, 2005;Weiglein et al, 2005;Rashid et al, 2006;Laredo et al, 2007;Margulis et al, 2007;Vinh et al, 2007a).…”

The supraclavicular flap is an important method for the reconstruction of the neck. In this study, the authors attempted to clarify the mechanism of blood flow into the supraclavicular flap based on the thoracic branch of the supraclavicular artery. Additionally, the authors discuss the clinical application of such anatomy. Thirty fresh cadavers and 13 preserved cadavers were dissected to observe the anatomic features of the pectorally extended supraclavicular flap. Additionally, 46 clinical cases were treated with such a flap. We identified two branches of the supraclavicular artery. A deltoid branch that extended to the acromial region and a thoracic branch that traveled to the anterior thoracic region. Using these data, all such flaps operated by us have to date, survived with satisfactory results. The pectorally extended supraclavicular flap could be used to repair defects on the ipsilateral or contralateral face, neck, and anterior thorax.

“…27 The supraclavicular artery can be identified pre-operatively by a handheld Doppler probe and the flap designed around its axis. 28 This flap has been used as a pedicled flap for neck region, 29 for facial reconstruction in noma surgery 30 and also reported to be used as expanded supraclavicular flap prefabricated with thoracoacromial vascular pedicles. 31 The donor site is closed primarily after extensive undermining.…”

The head and neck region is important both functionally and aesthetically and its reconstruction poses a formidable challenge for plastic surgeons. A perforator flap is a flap of skin or subcutaneous tissue supplied by a vessel that perforates the deep fascia to gain access to flap. With improvement in our knowledge of the anatomy of blood supply to the skin, the perforator flaps have opened a whole new horizon for the plastic surgeon to choose flaps with better function and cosmesis. The locally available perforators enable flaps to be designed with excellent match in tissue characteristics. Perforator flaps limit donor site morbidity and as they are islanded complete insetting is possible in a single stage. The principal perforator flaps such as facial artery perforator flap, platysma flap and its variant the submental flap and supra-clavicular artery flap used in the head and neck reconstruction are discussed. The more commonly used flaps are the free radial artery forearm flap and the anterolateral thigh flap while the novel ones are the thoracodorsal artery perforator flap, medial sural artery perforator flap and the toe-web flap for commissure reconstruction. The indications, reach and drawbacks of these flaps have been discussed in this review.
