Abstract
In the last 10 years, there has been an increased focus on the scapula tip free flap for head and neck reconstructions. Its several advantages make it a versatile and reliable reconstructive option for patients with orofacial compound defects. The aim of this article is to present a systematic surgical approach for the harvesting of the scapula tip free flap. Herein, a step-by-step surgical approach and some technical tips are described to make the scapula tip flap dissection simpler, safer, and more straightforward.
