Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap versus Free Fasciocutaneous Flap for Reconstruction of Partial Hypopharyngeal Defects: What Should We Be Doing?

摘要

Background Partial hypopharyngeal defects are most commonly reconstructed with the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMF) or free fasciocutaneous (FFC) flap. The purpose of this study is to determine the ideal method for reconstruction of partial hypopharyngeal defects by reviewing our institutional experience and the literature.
