The article presents the use of the supraclavicular flap and describes the results of reconstructions performed using this method. Supraclavicular flap represents a versatile reconstructive option that offers desirable aesthetic and functional results. It has a short operating time, high reliability and low post-operative monitoring requirements compared to microvascular reconstructions. Although microvascular flaps offer a wider range of reconstructive surgeries, they can also present certain limitations. Regional flap plastic surgery should still be considered in oncology patients with a high risk of recurrence or multiple comorbidities that do not allow reconstruction with free microvascular flaps.

Keywords: supraclavicular flap, fasciocutaneous flap, orofacial reconstruction
