Case description

This video demonstrates the technique of harvest of Latissimus dorsi flap by Dr Vipin Goel for coverage of an lumpectomy defect for carcinoma breast. The latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap (LDMF) is one of the most reliable and versatile flaps used in reconstructive surgery. It is used in chest wall, postmastectomy and head and neck reconstruction. It can be used as, either as a pedicled flap or as a microvascular free flap. The latissimus dorsi may be transferred as a myofascial flap, a myocutaneous flap, or as a composite osteomyocutaneous flap.
