Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2024 Feb;76(1):1251-1254. doi: 10.1007/s12070-023-04251-w. Epub 2023 Oct 5.

Abstract

Full thickness defects following surgical resection of locally advanced carcinoma buccal mucosa involving oral commissure often require complex microvascular procedures that are technically demanding. We present a novel technique of folded pectoralis major myocutaneous flap for reconstruction of such defects without the need for free flaps or additional sling support.
