The pectoralis major musculo-mammary transposition flap to close a radical mastectomy defect: the breast switch.

ABSTRACT: The latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap is the most commonly used workhorse flap to provide soft tissue closure of large breast amputation defects. When the thoracodorsal vascular pedicle is resected during a mastectomy, local tissue from lateral, contralateral, and inferior regions must be...
