[Pectoralis major myocutaneous flap in cervicofacial oncology. Apropos of 61 cases].

Personal experience with the use of musculocutaneous flaps from pectoralis major confirmed classical documented data. These flaps are reliable in use, they allow wide tumoral excision to be performed, and are therefore perfectly adapted for cervicofacial cancer surgery; however, carcinologic results have to be weighed against the operative procedures necessary.
