Abstract
Patient positioning for harvest may be lateral decubitus or lazy lateral on a bean bag with a dynamic arm positional device. The authors prefer the later as this provides access to both the harvest site and reconstructive defect within the head and neck in a single field saving significant surgical time and allowing for synchronous harvest if desired. This is covered in the Subscapular System Flaps (see Chap. 4).
