Study arms

  • Experimental
    Patient operated by Supraclavicular Artery flap for Reconstruction

    Supraclavicular artery flap will be used for reconstruction

    Procedure: Reconstruction of Soft tissue defects of head and neck by Supraclavicular artery flap

Interventions

  • ProcedureReconstruction of Soft tissue defects of head and neck by Supraclavicular artery flap

    Supraclavicular artery flap will be used in the reconstruction of traumatic and non-traumatic defects of head and neck.Flap harvesting and reconstruction will be performed under general anesthesia. The defect dimensions are measured and the superficial landmarks for the supraclavicular artery are drawn .The flap will be used as island flap, transposed or interpolated flap depending on the arc of rotation needed to achieve flap inset without tension and flap elevation proceeds from lateral to medial.The flap is rotated and inset into the defect

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Flap Success

    The flap success will be measured by percentage of patients in which there is flap survival versus percentage of patient with flap necrosis

    Time frame: 6 month post-surgery

  2. Flap complications

    assessment of flap complication will be assessed by percentage of patients in which there is flap dehiscence , flap infection and flap necrosis

    Time frame: 6 months post-surgery

  3. patients satisfaction as regard flap color match

    patient satisfaction as will be assessed with questionnaire

    Time frame: 6 months post-surgery

  4. patients satisfaction as regard flap texture match

    patient satisfaction as will be assessed with questionnaire

    Time frame: 6 months post-surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Possible flap lengths

    The achieved flap length will be measured in centimeters

    Time frame: 6 months post-surgery

  2. Possible flap widths

    The achieved flap width will be measured in centimeters

    Time frame: 6 months post-surgery
