Abstract
Although free flaps are widely recognized as a gold standard, pectoralis major muscle flap (PMMF) still remains a valuable workhorse in head and neck reconstruction. The technique we describe in the present paper allows to harvesting the PMMF with an accurate and complete isolation of the pedicle, sparing the superior sternum-acromion muscular fibers. © The Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India 2019.Entities:
