[Pectoralis major musculocutaneous flap after oncologic excision of the buccal cavity and oropharynx].
A musculocutaneous flap from pectoralis major was used for reconstruction after widespread excision for cancer of the oral cavity and oropharynx in 54 cases, the method of choice being transposition as islets. Necrosis in 6 cases (11%), was partial in 5 patients and was limited to the skin layer only. The advantages of the musculocutaneous flap from pectoralis major when compared with other reconstructive procedures, particularly deltopectoral and temporofrontal flaps, are discussed.
