  • THE APPLICATION OF TRANSPOSITION OF PECTORALIS MAJOR MUSCLE OR MYOCUTANEOUS FLAP IN THE REPAIR OF LONG STANDING WOUND OVER THE MANDIBULO CERVICO THORACIC AREA

    The pectoralis major muscle or myocutaneous flap is characterized by its easy dissection and free rotation, as well as abundance of blood supply and tissue mass of the flap, so that it was often used in repairing the wound over the mandibulo-cervico-thoracic area. From 1989 to 1996, 11 cases with long-standing wound of this area were difficult to repair with the traditional method, but were treated with transposition of this type of myocutaneous flap. The myocutaneous flap was applied in 8 case and muscle flap in 3 case. The flap area ranged from 12 cm x 8 cm to 26 cm x 18 cm. All the flaps survived, and excellent results were achieved. The technique and design of the operation were reported in details. It was concluded that the process was easy to perform, and the flap had abundant blood supply and high resistance to infection.
