Using indocyanine green angiography to achieve complete engraftment of pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps

Five patients with oral cancer underwent reconstruction with a PMMC flap after cancer ablation. During the skin paddle design and flap elevation, the blood supply to the flap was assessed by ICGA.
