“…Godat et al 7 and Pittet et al, 8 however, have shown recently that the LT flap is in fact a reliable free flap for facial construction. The pedicle LT flap is used mainly for reconstruction of defects in the axilla and chest wall 9–11 . The pedicle LT flap is not commonly used by most head and neck reconstructive surgeons, and there are only two case reports in the literature by a group of Japanese surgeons 12,13 .…”

The LT flap has the versatility of cutaneous, myocutaneous, and conjoint flaps with pectoralis major or latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps to reconstruct large surgical defects. It has a large, reliable surface area, a long pedicle to reach nasopharynx and zygoma, and has less bulky muscle to facilitate tubular reconstruction of circumferential pharyngeal defect, one-stage operation, esthetic hidden donor site scar in axillary region, and minimal donor site morbidity. It is an additional reliable pedicle flap in our armamentarium for reconstruction of both cutaneous and mucosal defects in the head and neck region.

“…They can also attach a skin-fat segment, determining best coverage of the underlying tissue (eg transverse rectus abdominis muscle flap -TRAM; vertical rectus abdominis muscle flap -VRAM). Gardner et al Demonstrated the suitability of regional fasciocutaneous flaps in three cases, using them even on small fragments of marlex meshes, emphasizing that they should be well vascularized so there is no suffering, necrosis and destabilization of the wall 5 . In some situations, microsurgery flaps are indicated 6 , though not available in many hospitals.…”

Introdução: A presença de lesões tumorais em região torácica eventualmente exige a ressecção de estruturas ósseas e de extensas partes moles. A reconstrução da parede torácica torna-se um desafio para o cirurgião plástico. Relato de caso: S.G.E.S, 71 anos, com fibrossarcoma em região de hemitórax anterior à direita com antecedente cirúrgico de reconstrução de parede torácica com retalho muscular de grande dorsal e peitoral maior ipsilateral, foi submetido a reconstrução com retalho abdominotorácico. Conclusão: A dificuldade técnica da reconstrução é ditada pelo caráter pouco previsível dos defeitos resultantes da ressecção, ainda mais em casos recidivados. Os retalhos abdominotorácicos são uma alternativa de abordagem nesses casos. Palavras-chave: Retalhos Cirúrgicos; Fibrossarcoma; Neoplasias de Tecidos Moles. ABSTRACTIntroduction: The presence of tumor lesions in the thoracic region eventually requires the resection of bone structures and extensive soft tissues. The reconstruction of the chest wall becomes a challenge for the plastic surgeon. Case report: S.G.E.S, 71 years old, with fibrosarcoma in the region of the anterior hemithorax on the right with a surgical history of chest wall reconstruction with a large dorsal muscle flap and ipsilateral pectoralis major, underwent reconstruction with an abdominothoracic flap. Conclusion: The technical difficulty of reconstruction is dictated by the unpredictable nature of defects resulting from resection, even more so in recurrent cases. Abdominal thoracic flaps are an alternative approach in these cases. Keywords: Surgical Flaps; Fibrosarcoma; Soft Tissue Neoplasms.
