Résumé
Head and neck tissue defects after ablative head and neck surgery often require complex and composite reconstructions. The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap is an extremely versatile perforator-based flap with minimal donor-site morbidity. The authors present their experience with both simple and chimeric SCIP flap reconstructions for complex defects in various head and neck regions. Twenty-two patients undergoing ablative head and neck surgery for oncologic abnormalities were treated by means of a SCIP flap reconstruction. Patients' mean age was 62 years; 21 were men and one was a woman. Seventeen flaps were simple and five were chimeric reconstruction patterns. Indocyanine green perfusion imaging was performed in all cases. Twenty-one of 22 patients (95.5 percent) were successfully treated with good aesthetic and functional results. Two patients (9 percent) showed minor donor-site complications that were managed conservatively. The mean follow-up period was 5.3 months (range, 2 to 8 months). This case series demonstrates the reliability and versatility of the SCIP flap for head and neck reconstruction. The chimeric options combined with bone, double-skin paddle, and muscle offer a broad variety of functional reconstructive solutions for complex head and neck surgery. Intraoperative indocyanine green perfusion examinations are a valuable tool to assess and ascertain proper inset, vitality, and postanastomosis vessel patency in these complex microvascular flap reconstructions. .

BACKGROUND
Head and neck tissue defects after ablative head and neck surgery often require complex and composite reconstructions. The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap is an extremely versatile perforator-based flap with minimal donor-site morbidity. The authors present their experience with both simple and chimeric SCIP flap reconstructions for complex defects in various head and neck regions.
METHODS
METHODS
Twenty-two patients undergoing ablative head and neck surgery for oncologic abnormalities were treated by means of a SCIP flap reconstruction. Patients' mean age was 62 years; 21 were men and one was a woman. Seventeen flaps were simple and five were chimeric reconstruction patterns. Indocyanine green perfusion imaging was performed in all cases.

RESULTS
Twenty-one of 22 patients (95.5 percent) were successfully treated with good aesthetic and functional results. Two patients (9 percent) showed minor donor-site complications that were managed conservatively. The mean follow-up period was 5.3 months (range, 2 to 8 months).
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
This case series demonstrates the reliability and versatility of the SCIP flap for head and neck reconstruction. The chimeric options combined with bone, double-skin paddle, and muscle offer a broad variety of functional reconstructive solutions for complex head and neck surgery. Intraoperative indocyanine green perfusion examinations are a valuable tool to assess and ascertain proper inset, vitality, and postanastomosis vessel patency in these complex microvascular flap reconstructions. .
