Single stage Delto-pectoral flap cover for large defects following extensive neck dissection.

Bulky neck nodal disease with involvement of the overlying skin develops large post resection defects with skin loss following extensive neck dissection, that may not be suitable for primary closure. We describe a simple and easy to do procedure for cover of such large post surgical resection neck defects by using the Delto-pectoral flap as a single staged procedure.
