Abstract

An ideal free tissue transfer flap after a major ablative head and neck cancer surgery is one that creates low donor site morbidity and allows for the greatest return of function. The Medial Sural Artery Perforator Flap (MSAPF) is a novel free tissue flap that is very thin and has low donor site morbidity. Below is a retrospective review of four MSAPF utilized by the senior author and an anatomical and instructive article.
