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. 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. |
