ABSTRACT
<p><b>UNLABELLED</b>OBJECTIVE To investigate the application of pedicled internal mammary artery perforator (IMAP) flap for tracheostoma and anterior cervical defect.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From April to December 2009, 4 IMAP flaps, based on the second internal mammary artery perforator, were used for two cases of tracheostoma and two cases of anterior cervical skin defect. The flap size was (4-7) cm x (10-13) cm.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>3 of 4 flaps survived completely. Partial necrosis happened in one flap. The defects at donor sites were closed directly.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The IMAP flap is a new method for head and neck defect. It is very suitable for tracheostoma and cervical skin defect, with less morbidity at donor site.</p>
