  • Title: [Latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap combined with implant in breast reconstruction: The technique of the dorsal bra].
    Author: Bruant-Rodier C, Chiriac S, Baratte A, Dissaux C, Bodin F.
    Journal: Ann Chir Plast Esthet; 2016 Jun; 61(3):212-6. PubMed ID: 26117706.
    Abstract:
    The latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap combined with an implant is an effective breast reconstruction solution especially in irradiated patients. The authors describe the specific technical aspects that allow them to optimize the results of this intervention. In the back, the skin paddle is drawn in the shape of a horizontal spindle so as to conceal the residual scar under the bra. In breast area, a J-shaped contraincision barring the mastectomy scar ensures a harmonious positioning of the skin paddle to the inferolateral part of the breast. After a 180° rotation, the latissimus dorsi muscle envelops the implant like a bra. Its upper edge is attached at the bottom to define the new submammary fold. Under the pectoralis major muscle, its distal end comes to fill the décolleté above the implant.
