Transverse cervical artery anterior perforator flap: Systematization and applications in head and neck reconstructive surgery

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to confirm the anatomical consistency of the transverse cervical artery anterior perforator (TCAP) and its role in head and neck reconstructive surgery. Their study demonstrated that the TCAP reliably originates from the transverse cervical artery and provided detailed anatomical landmarks, which can be identified preoperatively using Doppler ultrasonography to enhance surgical planning.
