    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the method for reconstruction of large tissue defects following surgical resection of advanced oral cancer using pectoralis major myocutaneous flap. METHODS: From 2005 to 2009, 40 patients with advanced oral cancer received extensive surgical resection of oral cancer, and the intraoral defects were reconstructed using pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps. RESULTS: All the flaps survived except one flap with partial necrosis. CONCLUSION: Pectoralis major myocutaneous flap is effective for reconstruction of large tissue defects after resection of advanced oral cancer.
