dc.description.abstractBackground: Local perforator flaps have been used in head and neck for coverage of relatively small defects. In this study, we aimed to present our results using a wide spectrum of locoregional flaps in perforator propeller fashion in reconstruction of moderate-to-large sized soft tissue defects of the head and neck. Patients and methods: From August 2012 to June 2023, a total of 83 patients with moderate to large-sized soft tissue defects of the head and neck underwent reconstruction using locoregional perforator propeller flaps. Data on the etiology and location of the defect, the flap of choice and the postoperative course were gathered from patients' charts retrospectively. Clinical outcome was evaluated based on parameters such as flap survival, color match, duration of hospitalization, and subjective satisfaction of the patient. Results: A total of 92 locoregional perforator propeller flaps were used in 83 patients with skin and soft tissue defects of the head and neck. The follow-up period ranged from 3 and 36 months, with an average follow-up duration of 12 months. The duration of hospitalization varied between 1 and 6 days, averaging 3 days. Distal partial flap loss occurred in 3 patients, while no postoperative infection, hematomas or seromas were observed. Conclusion: Locoregional perforator propeller flaps provide reproducible, functional and aesthetic results in reconstruction of moderate-to-large sized soft tissue defects of the head and neck.
