A 38-year-old female presented to us with a soft-tissue tumour of the right infraclavicular region that measured 6cm × 6cm []. There was no involvement of the underlying muscles. We resurfaced this defect using a supraclavicular flap measuring 8cm × 8cm and closed the donor defect primarily []. At the 3-month follow-up visit, the flap was completely settled and had blended well with the surrounding skin [Figures and ].
An 18 year-old female presented with a post-burn scar over her left cheek. We expanded her left supraclavicular area with a cylindrical expander to resurface the cheek scar. Though the expander migrated beyond the shoulder cap region in the post-insertion period, we went ahead with the surgery. A flap measuring 10cm × 6cm was harvested. The flap did not bleed well on the table and showed ischemic changes immediately after the operation. We lost the flap in its entirety. The resulting defect was later covered with a split-thickness skin graft.
