Objectives: The deltopectoral flap (DP) was originally described 40 years ago for head and neck reconstruction. Since that time, use of pedicled myocutaneous flaps and free tissue transfer has supplanted the DP flap as a first-line reconstructive tool. The island DP flap, a variation of the DP flap wherein the skin bridge is de-epithelialized, provides a source of thin and pliable tissue that can be useful for select head and neck reconstruction.
