Musculoosseous flaps with latissimus dorsi muscle are used for reconstruction of full-thickness anterior chest wall defects. The 11th and 12th ribs and the posterior parietal pleura are elevated with the latissimus dorsi muscle. The blood supply of the compound flap comes from the thoracodorsal pedicle and from perforating segmental vessels. The posterior thoracic wall island is transferred to the anterior chest wall defect to restore a skeletal plane and the transposed latissimus dorsi obliterates all the dead spaces that cannot be collapsed. The latissimus dorsi compound flap with the 11th and 12th ribs appears to be a "safe" procedure to reconstruct full-thickness anterior chest wall defects.
