## Abstract The anatomy, design, and blood supply of the pectoralis major myocutaneous island flap are described. This versatile, nondelayed flap has, for the most part, replaced the usual cutaneous flaps. Clinical examples of its use in head and neck reconstructive surgery are presented.

112 infrahyoid myocutaneous flaps (IHMCFs) were used for reconstruction of the tongue after resection of lingual carcinoma (67 flaps in 63 consecutive cases) and for repair of defects after resection of carcinomas of buccal mucosa (23 cases), floor of mouth (8 cases), parotid gland (7 cases), and ot
A retrospective analysis was carried out of 31 1 reconstructions of major defects following head and neck cancer treatment. Three hundred thirty-one flaps were used; they included cutaneous flaps from 1972 to 1979 and rnyocutaneous flaps (MCF) after 1979. The aim of this study was to compare the hea
