Sterno-omohyoid Free Flap for Dual-Vector Dynamic Facial Reanimation.

CONCLUSION: Herein, we demonstrate the first use of the sterno-omohyoid flap for successful facial reanimation. Overall, it is a novel flap in facial reanimation with many advantages over traditional flaps, including the potential to produce a more synchronous, dynamic smile while adding minimal bulk to the face. Future series will better elucidate the potential of the sterno-omohyoid flap. PMID: 31578078 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
