Keywords:

infrahyoid flap, the arterial pedicles of the infrahyoid flap, superior thyroid arteries

Abstract

Outline:The infrahyoid flap is used in head and neck reconstruction, especially in oral defect. This study is designed to determine vascular pedicles the infrahyoid flap.

Materials and methods: 10 fresh cadavers were investigated bilaterally in university of medicine and pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh city.

Results: The arterial pedicles of the infrahyoid flap are the superior thyroid arteries. The arterial pedicles of the flap are the superior thyroid artery. The venous pedicles of the muscles and flap are the superior thyroid and anterior jugular veins by the communicating veins with lingual or facial veins.

Conclusion: The infrahyoid flap seems to be an excellent flap for oral, oropharynx and superior facial part reconstruction. It can be harvested easily in the same operation area
