Twohundrednineteen orofaciomaxillary tumours, 18 benigns and 201 malignancies, were repaired by pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps following their resections. The types of flaps used in the repair were: single island myocutaneous flaps in 201 cases, doubleisland myocutaneous flaps in 16 cases, and myocutan eous skeletal flaps in 2 cases. The results were susscessful in 201 cases and failure in 18. The advantages and indications of using pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps were discussed. The method of design and its relevent surgical thechniques were introduced, and the factors responsible for the success and failure were analyzed. It is noted that the correct and meticulous operative techniques were the main factors leading to operative success.
