The latissimus dorsi muscle is the largest muscle in the body that allows coverage of extremely large wounds. It can be harvested on a single pedicle and can even be combined with other flaps to create a flap complex that can cover massive wounds. However, despite the large size, removal of the muscle does not result in a functional deficit.
It is one of the most dependable and versatile flaps used in reconstructive surgery, and it is well-known for its use in chest wall and postmastectomy reconstruction. It has also been used successfully to cover significant soft tissue defects in the head and neck, either as a pedicled flap or as a microvascular free flap.
Postoperative care necessitates regular inspection of the donor area for the presence of hematoma and seroma, which may necessitate the use of drains for a short period of time. However, no special dressings are necessary, and you can use the arm that corresponds to the donor area.
