CASANOLA RIVERO, Orestes et al. Reconstruction of facial soft parts with cervical flaps. Two cases presentation. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2016, vol.38, n.6, pp. 862-868. ISSN 1684-1824.

The reconstruction of important defects of soft parts in the orbital-maxillary-malar region is still a great challenge for the surgeon. Thus, in reconstructive surgery we have to approach two main problems: esthetic and functional recuperation. Of course, neither the esthetic nor the functional criteria should be placed before the oncological one. In this work we presented the cases of two patients operated of parotid gland carcinoma, reconstructed with cervical flaps; the first one, with the cervico-pectoral flap, and the second with the fascia-cervico-pectoral flap. These flaps should be considered one of the first options for reconstructing the defects of the maxilla-facial region, due to their predictability, versatility and easy dissection.

Palabras clave : cervical flaps; parotid tumors.
