  • Title: Poland's syndrome: correction of thoracic anomaly through minimal incisions.
    Author: Santi P, Berrino P, Galli A.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1985 Oct; 76(4):639-41. PubMed ID: 2994136.
    Abstract:
    A method that minimizes residual scarring following Poland's syndrome correction by latissimus dorsi muscle transposition and placement of a submuscular breast implant is described. In order to reduce any resulting unsightly scarring and, in particular, eliminate the anterior thoracic scar, both a dorsal S-shape and an axillary incision were made and the muscle flap was raised. A prosthesis was then inserted and the muscle flap sutured to the anterior chest wall through an anterior incision symmetrical to the inferior border of the contralateral areola. The latter is a previously undescribed approach that produces good cosmetic results.
