Sixty latissimus dorsi flaps. 1979

J Bostwick, and F Nahai, and J G Wallace, and L O Vasconez

In clinical experiences with 60 cases, we have found the latissimus dorsi to be a reliable and versatile flap. We describe its use for a functional muscle transfer (in restoration of elbow flexion and repair of abdominal wall defects), for arm and shoulder coverage, for breast reconstruction, and as a free flap.
