The latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap was one of the first described autologous options for breast reconstruction. It remains one of the common options for immediate or delayed reconstruction following mastectomy. It is usually performed as a pedicle flap and the success rate is high. It is ...
Hence, latissimus dorsi (LD) flap reconstruction provides an aesthetic approach in patients undergoing mastectomy. The goal is to maximize the flap's soft tissue coverage while minimizing the magnitude of donor site defect and complication.Methods: A prospective observa...
The latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction is considered a major surgical procedure. Generally, the procedure takes longer than breast implant surgery. Healing will also take longer with a tissue flap procedure since you will have two surgical sites—the donor site on the back and the newly constructe...
In six patients (18.7%), unacceptable scarring at the donor site required correction.Two years after reconstruction the patients assessed the procedure as very good or excellent. Excelent grade was often statisticaly significant in the group with innervated flap. Primary or secondary breast ...
Implant-related concerns have increased the interest in the use of complete autologous latissimus dorsi (LD) flaps in breast reconstruction. To achieve the desired volume without implants, autologous fat transfer can be used to enhance the breast size. Fat-augmented LD (FALD) flap is an ...

Fibromatosis of the breast results in aggressive, infiltrative lesions with a tendency for local recurrence. A case of bilateral fibromatosis of the breast treated with nipple-sparing skin-sparing mastectomy and vertical latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction occurring in 22-year-old woman is described her...
Latissimus dorsi muscle flap reconstruction Thelatissimus dorsi muscleis most often available in these patients and can be used to improve the outcome of the breast reconstruction. This increases the thickness of the soft tissue envelope of the breast and either an implant or tissue expander can be...
