Latissimus Dorsi Myocutaneous Flap

Abstract Background: To explore the clinical application and selection of latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap in repairing neck and shoulder soft tissue defect combined with infection. Methods: From July 2017 to December 2019, 11 patients with neck and shoulder soft tissue defect combined with infection in our hospital were repaired by the pedicled latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap (PLDMF) according to the shape and size of the soft tissue defects, including 9 males and 2 females, with an average age of 40.2±12.6 years. The average defect area after debridement of infected and necrotic tissue was (7.0±1.3) cm × (4.8±1.2) cm, and the average area of the flaps was (34.4±3.8) cm × (6.0±1.0) cm. The donor site was sutured directly. Results: Seven cases of skin flaps healed by the first intention, while 4 cases developed infections at the distal ends of the skin flaps after surgery, which all survived after anti-infection treatment and repeated dressing changes for infection control, and the donor and recipient sites of the flaps healed well. Followed up for an average of 17.3±3.8 months with good flap blood supply and limb function, there was no recurrence of infection. Conclusions: PLDMF is an idea for repairing neck and shoulder soft tissue defect combined with infection, with high survival rate, low postoperative infection recurrence rate, and good functional repair ability, leading to good clinical application value. However, surgical indications should be strictly carried out due to the inferior aesthetic of flaps.

Extensive soft tissue defects following trauma, burn or after cancer surgery need coverage by flaps. Sometimes surrounding tissues are not healthy enough or quantity is not favorable to provide adequate pedicle flaps. Microvascular free flap can provide healthy tissue of adequate amount from distant area for those difficult situations.15 microvascular free flaps were performed from October 2011 to February 2013. Radial forearm free flap was done in 8 and Latissimusdorsi (LD) flap in 7 cases. 10 flaps done in foot, ankle & lower leg region (radial forearm-5, LD-5) and 5 flaps were done in face and scalp region (radial forearm-4, LD-1).12 flaps healed uneventfully with good coverage of the defect. Average ischemia time was 135 min (range 100-240 min) and average anastomosis time was 75 min (average 60-100 min). 2 flaps failed. There was necrosis of the tip of 2 LD and cumbersome swelling of the flap was found in 2 cases of LD flaps.Large soft tissue defect of body where local or regional flaps are not feasible; can be easily covered with free flaps. Its capacity to cover huge soft tissue defect has neutralizes its technical demand. Though complications are still high in our hands; can be reduced performing more number of cases.
