| description | Objectives:To evaluate the efficiency of the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap for reconstruction of high-volume defects in the head and neck region.Materials and Methods:Between 1992-2000, 14 cases with head and neck cancers, who were applied pectoralis major myocutaneous flap for reconstruction, were included in this study. 3 of the cases were female and 11 of them were male. Their ages were between 26-73 (mean age: 56.25). All the cases were reconstructed with pectoralis major myocutaneous flap in the same operation after the tumor resection.
In this study, pectoralis major myocutaneous flap was evaluated with literature for applying indications and post-operative complications. In this way, the reliability and functionality of the flap was searched.Results:In our series of 14 cases, partial necrosis was found in one case, fistula in another case, seroma and dehiscence were found at the other two. No complications were found at the rest of the ten cases.Conclusion:We think that pectoralis major myocutaneous flap is a functional and reliable choice for reconstruction of high-volume defects in the head and neck region. |
