The folded, bipaddled pectoralis major myocutaneous flap for complex oral cavity defects: Undiminished relevance in the era of free flaps

Mango-shaped Bi-paddled pectoralis major myocutaneous flap reconstruction for large full-thickness defects post resection of squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity: An analysis of 232 cases

“…This is comparable with other large series of PMMC flap by various authors such as Pradhan et al .,[ 7 ] Ahmad GQ et al .,[ 8 ] Bhola et al . [ 9 ], Konduru et al .,[ 10 ] Sahu et al .,[ 11 ] Deo et al .,[ 12 ] Jacob et al .,[ 13 ] Tripathi et al .,[ 14 ] Chaturvedi et al . [ 15 ] and Mehta et al .…”

Prosthetic rehabilitation of unilateral midfacial defect resulting from flap related complication: A case report of clinical challenges and their solutions.

“…6 Potential complications include orocutaneous fistula (5.2%), partial flap loss (3.5%), flap dehiscence (1.7%), hematoma (1.7%), donor site abscess (1.7%), plate exposure (1.7%). 1,10 Vartanian et al have reported low complication rates with the PMMC flap, for complete and partial flap necrosis of 2.4% and 9.7%, respectively, in 371 cases. 11 The most common complication is dehiscence of the sutures, which can lead to salivary leakage and secondary infection.…”

“…The gingivobuccal complex (GBC), includes the buccal mucosa, upper and lower gingivobuccal sulci, alveolus and retromolar trigone, is a common subsite for oral cancer. 1 Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the GBC is uncommon substructure and silicone (one-piece) prosthesis was implemented to address the cutaneous cheek defect taking into account history of recent radiotherapy and comprehensive medical history. The delivered prosthesis effectively restored the lost facial contour and concealed the facial defect, contributing to aesthetics and improving the patient's quality of life.…”
