Background and Objectives : The pectoralis major myocutaneous flap(PMMCF) has been considered to be the "workhorse" of pedicled flaps in head and neck reconstruction. Even with the worldwide use of free flaps, the PMMCF is still considered the mainstay in head and neck reconstruction. The aim of the study is to evaluate the application and reliability of the PMMCF in selected cases of head and neck complication. Materials and Methods : We conducted a retrospective review of 14 patients who underwent the surgical reconstruction using the PMMCF due to the complications after head and neck ablative surgery between 1997 and 2007. Outcome measures included the indications of PMMCF, complications and post-operative functional result. Results : PMMCFs were used to reconstruct defects in the following series; wound dehiscence(7 patients), flap failure(4 patients), pharyngocutaneous fistula(3 patients). Flap survival was 100 percent and mean flap size was $67.2cm^2$. Five patients had complications such as pharyngocutaneous fistula, marginal necrosis, carotid blowout. Conclusions : The PMMCF is a safe and convenient method for reconstruction of the surgical complications after resection of advanced tumors and can be still used as a salvage procedure after free flaps failure.
