Abstract

A new version of the platysma myocutaneous flap, which includes the external jugular vein and the preserved facial artery, was utilized in eight patients. The viable area of transferred skin was 64% on average. This rate was statistically better than that in 46 cases using Farr's modification with conservative or radical neck dissection, and was almost the same viability rate as that in cases without neck dissection. It was, therefore, concluded that this new version is a useful local flap especially for intra-oral defects measuring 30∼40 cm2.
