Abstract
Head and neck defects present a unique challenge in reconstructive surgery due to the complex anatomy of this area. Different defects often require a variety of reconstructive techniques. The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap is particularly notable for its versatility in this context. It provides a thin, pliable skin island that can be integrated with bone, muscle, fascia, and other structures. Additionally, the morbidity associated with the donor site of the SCIP flap is generally low and well tolerated. This article offers a comprehensive overview of the evolution of this technique.
