latissimus dorsi- a broad flat muscle on either side of the back lat skeletal muscle,striated muscle- a muscle that is connected at either or both ends to a bone and so move parts of the skeleton; a muscle that is characterized by transverse stripes ...
The intermuscular technique for subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) implantations is a technique for implanting the device between the anterior serratus muscle and latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle. A 70-year-old hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patient underwent a surgical repositioning of an...
The scarless latissimus dorsi flap is an important reconstructive option, for patients with a low body mass index without adequate subcutaneous tissue for completely autologous reconstruction and for any patient who prefers not to have autologous tissue transfer from the abdomen or another location. In ...
(Figure 3). The dimensions of the replacement determine the size of the pouch. It should be located near the lateral rim of the muscle due to the anatomical location of the thoracodorsal artery. Thus the cultivated bone replacement will have sufficient blood supply after both transplantation ...
This latissimus dorsi tissue flap will go through the tunnel to the front of your chest. The surgeon will keep the donor tissue blood supply intact so the skin and muscle will continue to survive in their new location. If the flap is completely removed and moved to the chest, the blood ...
Which of the following is not a correct pairing of a muscle and location? a. Biceps brachii - upper arm. b. Pectoralis major - chest. c. Deltoid - lower leg. d. Quadriceps femoris - upper leg. e. Latissimus dorsi -...

Muscle Latissimus DorsiChest Wall TumorHemangiomas, which are among the least common benign chest wall masses, consist of dilated, tortuous, thin-walled vessels. They are typically cutaneous in location, intramuscular (IMH) location is uncommon, with a reported frequency of 0.8% among all benign ...
The endoscopic approach minimizes scarring at the donor site.MethodsBetween September 2010 and November 2012, a total of 29 patients were operated on for breast cancer and immediately reconstructed using a latissimus dorsi muscle flap obtained endoscopically. In all cases, the tumor location was the...
The reconstructive procedure may also change depending on the location of the sarcoma. The nonresected muscle may alter the function of the elbow. If the proximal part of the triceps muscle remains intact, it is considered functional. Functional muscle transfer is not required in such cases. A ...
