Abstract
|
|
|
Latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap is useful for the breast reconstruction, chest wall coverage free flap transfer, and head and neck area reconstruction, especially in large defect. We have had some experience of 5-pedicled and 1-free
latissimus
dorsi
myocutaneous flap in head and neck area and found many advantages and some problems.
@ES The conclusions were as follows:
@EN 1. Potentially large flap size enabled us agressive tumor resection and reconstruction.
2. Speedy and easy flap elevation and long vascular pedicles reduced operation time and flap failure.
3. Due to fewer ecomplication and functional loss of doner site, pedicled latissimus dorsi flap was a good choice for large head and neck reconstruction.
4. Because of fiap bulkness, thin and small defect was not aprropriate for reconstruction.
