Popis: A modification of the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap has been described for head and neck reconstruction. The flap uses the skin overlying the sternum and parasternal area and may extend across the midline to the contralateral internal mammary perforators. The flap has been uniformly reliable in our experience. It is thin and easy to elevate, and donor-site morbidity is minimal. This flap is rapidly becoming our first-choice for head and neck reconstruction.
