The pectoralis major myofascial (PMMF) unit is rapidly mobilized, reliable, and extremely useful in a number of clinical situations calling for vascularized soft-tissue coverage in the head and neck. Although free-tissue transfer has emerged as the preferred method of reconstruction for a large variety of defects in the head and neck, the pectoralis major muscle should be considered when vascularized soft-tissue coverage is required in this area.
