Breast reconstruction using a latissimus dorsi flap after mastectomy.
INTRODUCTION The latissimus dorsi (LD) myocutaneous flap has long been regarded as the second choice flap for autologous breast reconstruction following a mastectomy in our department. Despite uncertainty about donor-site morbidity, it is regarded as a relatively safe procedure; moreover, in contrast to our first choice, the deep inferior epigastric perforator flap, no microsurgical expertise i...
متن کاملComparison of morbidity-related seroma formation following conventional latissimus dorsi flap versus muscle-sparing latissimus dorsi flap breast reconstruction
PURPOSE The pedicled, descending-branch muscle-sparing latissimus dorsi (MSLD) flap has been widely used for breast reconstruction following total mastectomy. However, the superiority of the MSLD flap compared to the conventional latissimus dorsi (CLD) flap in preventing seroma formation has not been demonstrated. This study compares the morbidities related to seroma formation following pedicle...

The latissimus dorsi muscle was prepared as an island flap, turned over and sutured to the trapezius proximally and to the original deltoid insertion on the humerus distally. Funct...
متن کاملPedicled unipolar latissimus dorsi flap for reconstruction of finger extensor *
We describe the use of a pedicled unipolar latissimus dorsi flap to restore finger extension. The patient had large defects in the radial nerve and extensor musculature. A long-tailed, 50-cm-long flap was prepared, which enabled the end of the flap to be sutured to the extensor digitorum.

Although abdominal tissue transfer is described as the preferred method, it may not be best suited to all patien...
