  • Title: [Use of pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps in cervicofacial surgery. Our experience with 46 cases].
    Author: Lelievre G, Peynegre R, Strunski V, Baril CH, Ledoux P, Bielher JM.

    Abstract:
    Musculocutaneous flaps from pectoralis major were used during cervico-facial surgery for repair after cancer operations in 46 patients. Use of this technique in surgical practice is discussed as a function of the site of cancer, and results described in relation to the viability of the flap and the outcome. Removal of the flap is simple and possible by a one-stage operation, and the method provides functional improvement for these patients.
