    Author: Golden GT, Power CG, Marshall KA, Fox JW, Edlich RF, Edgerton MT.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1976 Sep; 132(3):415-7. PubMed ID: 786058.
    Abstract:
    Contiguous cervical and deltopectoral flaps have several advantages in reconstruction of the head and neck after extirpation of cancer. The cervical skin provides an excellent color match for facial skin, and nonhair-bearing skin is available if lining of the oral cavity is required. The deltopectoral flap provides superior coverage for the carotid artery.
