Deskripsi
Traditionally, burn reconstructions have been performed by the use of skin grafting or local flaps. Recently free flaps are being used with increasing frequency. Although not very common in the head neck region, free flaps are mostly used for secondary reconstructions of cervicofacial contractures. We report the role of free flaps in postburn facial reconstructions, excluding neck and scalp burns.
