M A Cheema,

Pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMF) has become the standard for reconstruction of major defects in head and neck area. Eleven cases, operated over a three year period, in which PMMF was used for reconstruction have been reviewed retrospectively. Nine patients had oral squamous cell carcinoma, one had a basal cell carcinoma of the external ear and one had lost skin and soft tissue of neck following synergistic gangrene. Ten of the eleven flaps survived (success rate 91%). One of the three rib grafts used to reconstruct mandible got infected and had to be removed. Three patients developed wound infections and one had a temporary orocutaneous fistula which closed spontaneously. This brief experience confirms the reliability and efficiency of PMMF for head and neck reconstruction.
