The latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap: a one-stage breast reconstruction
Abstract
As an alternative to multistaged tube pedicle flap breast reconstruction, we present a reliable, one-stage method of breast reconstruction using the latissimus dorsi muscle and musculocutaneous flap. Based on our experience with 200 falps over the last three years, we believe that the latissimus dorsi flap is a safe and effective operation for supplying skin and muscle tissue for breast reconstruction.
