Abstract:
砄bjective: To seek for the method of reinnervation of denervated pectoralis major myoflap. Method:The model of pectoralis major myoflap transposition in 20 New Zealand rabbits was used. After the myoflaps were transferred (original nerve innervation,ON) and ON denervation followed by hypoglossal genioglossus muscle neuromuscular pedicle implantation (NMP) wre performed. The flaps were examined at the intervals of 4,8,12 and 16 weeks respectively after operation. Results:In NMP myoflaps contracted when the hypoglosal nerve was stimulated,some type Ⅱ fibers in the myoflaps transformed into type I, but the pattern of distribution of the muscle fibers displayed mosaic and was similar to that of genioglossus muscle. Conclusion:The denervated pectoralis major myoflap can be reinnervated by hypoglossal-genioglossus muscle neuromuscular pedicle transplantation.
