The pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMC flap) represents a landmark in the development of head and neck reconstructive surgery. After Stephan Ariyan first described its use for head and neck reconstruction in 1979, it has become tremendously popular and has revolutionised head and neck cancer surgery. Here, we present our initial experience with fourteen PMMC flaps in head and neck reconstruction. In most of the instances it was used for oral or oropharyngeal reconstruction. It was used for five other reconstructive tasks as well. Wound infection was the most common complication. There was no case of total flap loss. It has proven to be a reliable method of reconstuction in the head and neck.
胸大肌肌皮瓣(PMMC瓣)是头颈重建外科发展中的一个里程碑。自1979年斯蒂芬·阿里扬首次描述其用于头颈重建以来,它已变得极为流行,并彻底改变了头颈癌手术。在此,我们介绍我们使用14个胸大肌肌皮瓣进行头颈重建的初步经验。在大多数情况下,它用于口腔或口咽重建。它还用于其他五项重建任务。伤口感染是最常见的并发症。没有出现皮瓣完全坏死的病例。事实证明,它是一种可靠的头颈重建方法。
