Abstract: | An extended serratus anterior myocutaneous flap with a vascularized rib has been used, in two cases, for reconstruction of large full-thickness chest wall defects after resection of recurrent breast cancer. Using this method, the bony support and the soft tissue of the chest wall can be safely reconstructed. |
