Abstract
This article deals with defects in the face. A cervical flap called the angle-rotation flap was created by Schrudde 16 years ago to cover defects such as scarred skin after deep burn injuries as well as skin and subcutaneous defects following removal of dysplastic skin or after accidents. Indications and the method are described.
