Introduction: Reconstruction around the neck still represents a challenge as both functional and cosmetic outcomes need to be considered. Locoregional fasciocutaneous flaps are often the best, and sometimes the single, reconstructive option available. This work is intended to highlight the versatility of the supraclavicular artery island flap (SCAIF) for cervical reconstruction. Patient and Methods: The authors present a case series analysis of cervical reconstruction using this fasciocutaneous flap, reporting clinical outcomes and complications. Observations: An array of defects of different nature and magnitude, from skin only to composite defects were successfully reconstructed with the SCAIF, highlighting a simple, reproducible, and resourceful flap. Discussion: The SCAIF is characterized for its versatility, making it an essential tool in the reconstruction of simple and complex defects in the cervical region. Regarding neck reconstruction, this flap has an unquestionable role as a first reconstructive option (either tumoral in nature, trauma, or iatrogenic complications) and/or as a salvage procedure after a free flap failure.
