Abstract: | Breast reconstruction with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap is a reliable technique. Its width is limited to between 10 and 12 cm if direct closure of the donor site defect is required. We report a study with assessment of the dorsal skin laxity in 25 women, simulating vertical, horizontal and reverse oblique flap. The average width was 12.5 cm (11.6 to 14 cm) for reverse oblique flap, 9.4 cm (8 to 11 cm) for vertical and 9.2 cm (8 to 10.6 cm) for horizontal flap. Our study suggests that the reverse-oblique flap provides a wider flap and reduces the donor site morbidity. |
