Abstract

ABSTRACT:
Pectoralis major muscle or myocutaneous flap is usually used for closure of big pharyngocutaneous fistula. In case of partial or complete failure, the plastic surgeon should be well prepared to use a second option for closure weather using myocutaneous or fasciocutaneous flaps, alone or with combination. Deepithelialized Deltopectoral flap found to be a reliable option.
