In response to the recent advances in aggressive excision of skull base and head and neck malignancies, amore sophisticated method primary reconstruction has been developed using a craniofacial techniques forpreservation of postoperative quality of life. We have developed an inferior pedicled rectus abdominis mus-culocutaneous flap with rib cartilages for reconstruction of the orbito-facial region. The advantages of thisflap are as follows; 1) Simultaneous flap elevation in a supine position is possible, 2) Easy, versatile andreliable flap adjustment can be made for complicated space defect, 3) Curvature of the ipsilateral rib cartil-ages is suitable for inferior orbital rim, 4) Lower risk of pleura laceration as compared with a superiorpedicled flap. In the past 5 years, the composite free flaps have been applied for 3 cases of hemi orbito-fa-cial defect, with better results than in previous cases. Our technique for the flap application in a repre-sentative case is illustrated.
