The pectoralis major flap.

The pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMC) is a major flap for reconstruction of large head and neck defects. Its principle advantages are its dependability and ability to cover large defects. It is, however, a bulky flap, preventing its use for delicate reconstruction. The PMC flap is justifiably a popular flap that will continue to command an important place in the head and neck surgeon's reconstructive armamentarium.
