  • Title: Indications and Controversies for Complete and Implant-Enhanced Latissimus Dorsi Breast Reconstructions.
    Author: Mushin OP, Myers PL, Langstein HN.
    Journal: Clin Plast Surg; 2018 Jan; 45(1):75-81. PubMed ID: 29080662.
    Abstract:
    This article describes the use of implant-enhanced and total-autologous latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps in breast reconstruction. It addresses the indications for use of this reconstruction alternative, which have recently been expanded thanks to the advent of high-volume fat grafting. Given its straightforward dissection, reliable vascular pedicle, variety of approaches, and potential for excellent aesthetic results, use of latissimus dorsi flaps may be considered among first-line options in selected patients.
