  • Title: Use of a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap for closure of an orocutaneous fistula of the cheek.
    Author: Posnick JC, McCraw JB, Magee W.
    Journal: J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 1988 Mar; 46(3):224-8. PubMed ID: 3280760.
    Abstract:
    The latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap can be used successfully for external cover in the cheek region when the nature of the defect precludes the use of other local or regional flaps. It is exceedingly useful when a large amount of well-vascularized tissue is needed. The flap is extremely reliable and versatile as a one-stage reconstruction. Its major drawbacks are its bulkiness and the necessity to reposition the patient intraoperatively.
