Deltopectoral flap with a segmental dermal pedicle in head and neck reconstruction. 1977

H Lash, and M R Maser, and D B Apfelberg

Eight cases of extensive oromandibular resections have been reconstructed by the use of deltopectoral shoulder flaps with a segment denuded for deep placement. The operative technique is described, and the various uses of this flap are outlined. This technique has allowed us to extend the versatility of the deltopectoral flap, and to avoid the occurrence of the often annoying and occasionally dangerous orocutaneous fistula.
