Abstract:
The pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMF) was described by Ariyan in 1979 for head and neck reconstructions. It is a safe flap, currently supplanted by free flaps in developed countries, but which remains very useful in developing countries. We report a series of 25 cases of PMMF reconstruction. All patients were treated for advanced stages of oral cavity cancer, where tumor excision left significant tissue loss. The reconstruction used PMMF, taken using the same technique. Supplanted by free flaps in developed countries, PMMF remains useful in developing countries. It is a flap that has numerous advantages (ease of collection, viability, low requirements in terms of instrumentation, etc.). Many variations have been described over the years.
摘要:
1979年,Ariyan描述了胸大肌肌皮瓣(PMMF)用于头颈部重建。这是一个安全的皮瓣,目前被发达国家的自由襟翼所取代,但这在发展中国家仍然非常有用。我们报告了一系列25例PMMF重建。所有患者均接受晚期口腔癌治疗,切除肿瘤留下明显的组织损失。重建使用PMMF,使用相同的技术。在发达国家用自由皮瓣支撑,PMMF在发展中国家仍然有用。它是一种具有许多优点(易于收集,生存能力,在仪表方面的低要求,等。).多年来已经描述了许多变化。
