The proposed mechanisms of VLNT include lymphangiogenesis and absorptive action of transplanted lymphatic tissue. Therefore, in theory, the lymph node content of lymph node flap is crucial to clinical response. The supraclavicular lymph node flap (SCLNF) has been described as one of the flap options for VLNT. However, its lymph node content has not been fully studied. The aim of this study is to find out the lymph node content of SCLNF with histological examination.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients who required radical neck dissection or modified radical neck dissection due to cervical lymph node metastasis from head and neck cancer were included in this study. The SCLNF harvesting was performed as the first part of neck dissection. After flap harvesting, neck dissection was continued. The fresh SCLNF specimens were then sent for histological study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twelve SCLNFs were studied. The mean age of patients was 67.5 (range, 54\u201384) years. There were 10 males and 2 females. Seven flaps were harvested from the left side of neck, while five flaps were harvested from the right side of neck. The mean width, height, and thickness of SCLNF were 5.9\u2009\u00b1\u20090.6, 4.0\u2009\u00b1\u20090.5, and 1.8\u2009\u00b1\u20090.2\u2009cm, respectively. The mean number of lymph nodes per flap was 8\u2009\u00b1\u20094.7 (range, 3\u201315).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The lymph node content of SCLNF was confirmed.
