ABSTRACT

Anterior neck defects are best reconstructed with flaps, to avoid contractures and extensive scarring. Local or distal flaps are hampered by significant donor site disability. The development of the TRAM flap for breast reconstruction has improved our armamentarium in reconstructive surgery. This paper purports to demonstrate the superiority of the free bilateral TRAM flap applied for anterior neck resurfacing. Two cases with such anterior neck conditions are presented.
