Propeller and Pre-expanded Propeller Use of a Transversely Oriented Upper Trapezius Perforator Flap in Head and Neck Reconstruction : Clinical Experience and Review of Vascular Anatomy of the Supraspinal Trapezius Muscle

Conventionally, trapezius musculocutaneous flap is raised to harbour perforators located inferior to the scapular spine (i.e. 'lower trapezius flap'). In this clinical study, we aimed to use trapezius perforators located superior to the scapular spine to raise a transversely oriented propeller fasciocutaneous flap based on the superficial cervical artery to reconstruct head and neck defects. Patients with head and neck defects who underwent reconstruction with a propeller trapezius perforator flap between August 2014 and October 2019 were evaluated. Demographic data of the patients, topographic data on defects and the flaps were analysed. A total of 14 patients underwent reconstruction with upper trapezius perforator flap with equal gender distribution. Defects were due to tumour resections, burn contractures and exposed foreign materials; located in occipital, temporal, parietal, midfacial and cervical areas; with sizes ranging between 8 × 7 cm and 22 × 19 cm. Overall patient satisfaction was assessed subjectively using a pre-determined set of questions. The sizes of the flaps ranged between 15 × 8 cm - 20 × 9 cm in non-expanded and 26 × 15 cm - 30 × 16 cm in expanded cases. One flap suffered distal superficial flap loss, which was treated with wound care. Follow up period of the patients ranged between 3 and 40 months with an average of 29 months. Using trapezius perforators located above the scapular spine provides thin transversely oriented propeller flaps to be used in head and neck reconstruction. In our series, this flap is further enhanced by pre-expansion for wider uses, e.g. facial resurfacing and releasing neck contractures.
