摘　　要：To the Editor:With great interest,we read the article by Zhou et al[1]entitled“Application of bilateral supraclavicular artery island flaps in the repair of hypopharyngeal and cervical skin defects:a case report.”The authors explored the potential of bilateral supraclavicular artery island(SAI)flaps for reconstructing through-andthrough defects between the hypopharyngeal mucosa and the neck skin resulting from salvage surgery for recurrent laryngeal cancer.Although we congratulate the authors on their successful surgical results,we think they should present more details about the surgical method,especially regarding the pre-operative imaging of the SAI flap,which was of crucial importance to the success of the surgery.We would like to take the opportunity to offer some comments and further expand on the topic by presenting our current work involving the SAI flap.
