[Our experience with the pectoralis major musculocutaneous flap. Apropos of 57 cases].
One of the most important technical advances in cervicofacial plastic surgery over the last few years is undoubtedly the use of the musculocutaneous flap from pectoralis major. A review of its application in 57 cases showed the flap to be of excellent viability (5% total necrosis of flap), and to offer multiple possibilities during primary surgery or that following radiation. Indications and excision limits can be extended, particularly in buccopharyngeal surgery, providing and appreciable functional gain (particularly disappearance of pain), even though long-term carcinologic advantages are deceiving.
