Great advances in the field of reconstructive head and neck surgery have been made in the last 20 years, and although the nape of neck flap has not been used as frequently as the deltopectoral flap or the forehead flap, its contribution in this field has been significant. This paper discusses the flap's history, anatomical basis, and clinical applications. Advantages, disadvantages, and complications are discussed and the flap's role in modern head and neck reconstructive surgery is examined.
