It was not possible because the free flap method requires microvascular anastomosis expertise, which is difficult, time-consuming and costly.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>An 86-year-old woman suffered squamous cell carcinoma on the right side of her face, which resulted in a large soft-tissue defect. Here, we present a case of facial reconstruction from the inferior margin of the jaw to the top of the head. The size of the defect was 18.5\u00a0cm\u2009\u00d7\u20097.5\u00a0cm, which is rare for a patient of this age in the maxillofacial area. We used the supraclavicular artery island flap (SCAIFP) which measured 19.3\u00a0cm\u2009\u00d7\u20098.3\u00a0cm to repair the defect. After the operation, the flap survived without complications. Then, the patient was followed for 10\u00a0months and was satisfied with the aesthetic and functional results at the donor and recipient sites following the tumour resection. The tumour did not recur, and facial nerve function was preserved.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Our results provide a new choice for the reconstruction of large defects of the head and face, and expand the potential applications of the SCAIFP.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12893-020-00987-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,14]],"date-time":"2021-04-14T20:29:27Z","timestamp":1618432167000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Use of the supraclavicular artery island flap for reconstruction of maxillofacial defects: a case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"J.
