Pectoralis Major Musculocutaneous Flap With a Midline Sternal Skin Paddle for Head and Neck Reconstruction: A New Design
Conclusions
With the advancement of free-flap techniques, the classic flaps have become less popular. Our new design supplements the PMMC flap by providing a thin pliable flap with a long pedicle and rotation arc, allowing a combination of different types of flaps to cover composite head and neck defects, especially in cases that lack a reliable recipient vessel due to radiation.
