    Author: Munro IR, Neu BR, Humphreys RP, Lauritzen CG.
    Journal: Childs Brain; 1983; 10(6):381-6. PubMed ID: 6661935.
    Abstract:
    A method is presented in which two well-recognized plastic surgical flap techniques are coupled; the Limberg rhomboid transposition flap and the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap. The technique was used in 2 patients to provide ample, innervated, and well-vascularized skin cover over myelomeningocele defects.
