title: Further experiences with the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap for the immediate repair of defects from excisions of head and neck cancers.
abstract: In our experience with 14 pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps they have been very reliable for reconstructions in a variety of clinical situations--especially in the repair of defects from extensive cancer resections in the head and neck area, including orbital exenterations. The flaps can be transferred immediately, without a delay.
