The buccinator-based myomucosal flaps are axial pattern flaps that are suitable in reconstruction of medium sized oral soft tissue defects; they are rich in blood supply, have appropriate thickness and considerable mucosal paddle, and they can secrete saliva. The present study describes surgical anatomy and blood supply of these flaps and demonstrates all possible modifications of these flaps (9 modifications). Many terms (> 10) have been used to refer to buccinator-based myomucosal flaps in the literatures. This report introduces a new classification system mainly based on the remaining attachments of buccinator muscle after flap elevation in pedicle variants and axial blood supply orientation in island variants.

“…Flaps as long as 8 cm can be transposed. Ayad's et al [45] series of 57 cases showed how tongue tethering can be avoided after repair of contiguous tongue/floor of mouth defects by closing the FOM defect with the flap and allowing the superior tongue defect to heal secondarily. This is a unique flap for quick, easy, low morbidity repair of mucosal defects of the mouth, lip and nose.…”

The pectoralis major musculocutaneous flap was first described in 1968 in the resurfacing of an anterior chest wall defect, though its first use in head and neck reconstruction was not until 1979. 3,4,5 Since then it has become one of the most utilized and reliable flaps for head and neck reconstruction. It can be used to reconstruct defects of the oral cavity, the oropharynx, the face, and the neck.The pectoralis major musculocutaneous flap can be easily raised as a myofascial or myocutaneous flap. It is known to be reliable, providing excellent bulk in a single stage for a variety of instances such as great vessel coverage, pharyngeal reconstruction, fistula closure, and salvage operations. The primary limitation of the flap is the bulkiness of the subcutaneous adipose tissue between the skin and the muscle. This can be reduced by stripping the skin and adipose and applying a skin graft to the surface of the muscle.Downloaded by: California Institute of Technology (CALTECH). Copyrighted material.

Reconstruction of floor of mouth defects by the facial artery musculo‐mucosal flap following cancer ablation

Abstract: The FAMM flap is well suited for FOM reconstruction because it is reliable, has few significant complications, and allows preservation of oral function.
