The Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap Revisited: A Reliable Technique for Head and Neck ReconstructionAnnals of Plastic Surgery, 64
The gold standard reconstructive options for full-thickness defect of the oral cavity after resection of malignant lesions are the free flaps. But in developing nations due to resource constraints, it cannot be offered to all. Hence, pectoralis major myocutaneous (PMMC) flap as bilobed flaps is most commonly used. Bilobed flaps are technically demanding, and in females, it is more challenging due to higher complication rates especially in large breasts. There has been no major reported data evaluating outcomes of bilobed PMMC in females. This is a retrospective evaluation of outcomes of patients who underwent the bilobed PMMC flap reconstruction for full-thickness defect of the oral cavity after resection of malignant lesions from June 2018 to December 2019. Out of 80 patients, all patients ultimately had adequate tissue coverage for the defect with acceptable facial aesthetics. Functional outcomes with regards to oral continence, speech and swallowing were encouraging. Our study had 33.75% flap-related complications. Fifteen percent of patients developed varying degrees of flap loss, of which only 3.75% had total flap loss and 11.25% had partial flap loss which was managed accordingly. Our study concludes that with careful planning, raising of flap based on sound anatomic concepts and applying oncoplastic techniques, shortcomings of bilobed female PMMC can be addressed and still used as suitable alternatives for free flap for full-thickness oral cavity defects in limited resource settings.
