The subclavicular flap is an excellent choice for the reconstruction of oral cavity defects. Selection of patients should exclude positive lower-third neck node and include appropriate informed consent for women due to the possibility of deformity of the breast. In our opinion, this flap has the potential for common application given its consistent anatomy and donor site advantages, including long pedicle, high pivot point, and relatively unlimited flap width.
