Improving the Versatility of the Latissimus Dorsi Myocutaneous Flap Using the Perforator Propeller Flap Concept

Conclusions The perforator propeller flap could be used to reconstruct a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap donor site defect, ensuring not only the harvesting of a wide flap but also achieving primary donor site closure, thus greatly improving the versatility and capability of the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap in the reconstruction of large-sized defects.
