“…In general, studies addressing postsurgical complications in women who underwent latissimus dorsi flap focus on patient satisfaction, scar formation, technical aspects of the surgical procedure, capsular contracture, or problems caused by radiotherapy. [34][35][36][37] Particularly interesting among our findings was the lower prevalence of tissue adhesion in women who underwent latissimus dorsi flap surgery. It is reasonable to infer that filling of the surgical void with the latissimus dorsi flap and silicone gel implants may have contributed to greater tissue mobility, which in turn might have had a positive effect on overall shoulder/arm range of motion.…”

“…Recently, the use of the cutaneous island along the resting tension lines of the skin was described, that is, an island in the inferolateral to superomedial sense, citing that the result is an almost imperceptible scar in the donor area. Bailey [15] (2009) performs a comparative study with the preference of patients between a horizontal and an oblique design, having as using this type of design, Hankins and Friedman [16] report that in order to perform the same it is necessary to release the muscle insertion by 90%, to rotate the pedicle and fix the cutaneous island to its new medial position.…”

Introduction: The increase in the incidence of breast cancer at a global and national level, presupposes a challenge both for the surgical elimination of breast cancer and for breast reconstruction postmastectomy, as an integral part of the definitive treatment. There is an important group of techniques, within which breast reconstruction with the use of the myocutaneous flap of the Dorsal Ancho muscle is one of the most implemented. Objective: To evaluate the use of the myocutaneous flap of the Dorsal Ancho muscle in postmastectomy mammary reconstruction and definitive prosthesis placement. Material and methods: A retrospective, descriptive and longitudinal study was carried out by the Plastic Surgery Department of the Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital in the implementation of this surgical procedure, between 2016 to 2018, 22 mastectomized patients were operated on for breast restoration using a Dorsal Ancho myocutaneous flap breast endoprosthesis placement. Results: The 22 postmastectomy patient's predominantly infiltrating ductal carcinoma and they performed the Madden technique mostly. In more than 70% of the cases a skin island of horizontal design was planned on the muscle and complications were scarce except for the seroma in the donor area, which was observed in 63% of the cases. In general in more than 80% of the cases, results were obtained between very good and good. Conclusions: The complication rate was low, with very good results and a high degree of satisfaction of the majority of the patients, which allowed to show the utility of the application of this procedure in postmastectomy breast reconstruction.

“…D'après Bailey et al, cet emplacement cicatriciel recueille le score de satisfaction des patientes le plus élevé en deuxième position derrière la cicatrice transversale basse [7]. Cette voie d'abord médio-dorsale est par ailleurs optimale pour prélever la totalité du muscle dans de bonnes conditions.…”

Breast Reconstruction with the Latissimus Dorsi Flap: Womenʼs Preference for Scar Location

Abstract: Women overwhelmingly prefer the low and middle transverse scar locations. Physicians should consider using these locations primarily in suitable patients, as this may improve overall patient satisfaction following breast reconstruction.
