In order to correct the dysfunction of head and neck with scar contracture, since 1980, sixty-two cases were undertaken the operation by using local skin flap to repair the soft tissue defect after scar resection. The skin flaps included pedicled delto-thoracic skin flap in 26 cases, cervico-thoracic skin flaps in 25 cases, cervico-shoulder flaps in 6 cases, pedicled vascularized extralong delto-thoracic skin flap in 4 cases and free parascapular flap in 1 case. Sixty cases had total survival of the flaps and 2 flaps had partial necrosis. After 1 to 10 years follow-up, the appearance and function of neck were excellent. It was suggested that grafting local skin flap was a good method to treat cicatricial deformity of neck especially using the skin flap with pedicle and vascular bundle.
