Abstract

Pectoralis major flap is probabely the most exploited flap in head and neck surgery. Surgical design and flap mobility enable its use in reconstruction of almost all postablative soft tissue defects in the region of the head and neck. Authors present their own experience in reconstruction of large, composite skin defects of the head and neck in six patients, using pectoralis major myocutaneous flap.

Keywords
