The platysma myocutaneous flap (PMF) was first used for intraoral reconstruction in 1978 by Futrell (Futrell et al., 1978) [1]. A platysma myocutaneous flap is a versatile, easy-to-perform, one-stage procedure, and the outcome is best in adequately selected patients, with minimum donor site morbidity. It is large enough to close most head and neck ablative skin or mucosal defects up to 70cm2 an...
متن کاملTongue reconstruction with the gracilis myocutaneous free flap.
We describe our experience in tongue reconstruction using the transverse gracilis myocutaneous (TMG) free flap after major demolitive surgery for advanced cancer. This technique was used in 10 patients: seven underwent total glossectomy and three partial glossectomy. In eight patients we performed motor reinnervation attempting to maintain muscular trophism and gain long-term volumetric stabili...
