The patient is placed in the semi-lateral decubitus position, and the incision performed for SLNB or ALND is slightly extended laterally in order to find the lateral edge of the
latissimus dorsi muscle.
Resting Thickness of
Latissimus Dorsi of Healthy Control was 13.04+-2.25mm, among Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction Ipsilateral was 12.12+-1.67mm and opposite thickness was 8.69+-1.13mm.
This structure is a flattened muscle that is a supernumerary variant of
latissimus dorsi muscle, which emerges from it in the vicinity of the intertubercular sulcus of the humerus and runs down the medial side of the arm until it reaches the medial epicondyle or the olecranon (Testut).
Three of these patients received free
latissimus dorsi perforator flap, ranging from 13 cm x 16 cm to 10 cm x 18 cm, for suprapubic and perineal defects.
This demonstrated full-thickness tear of the
latissimus dorsi insertion, with 6mm avulsion of the tendon from the anteromedial humeral cortex [Figure 2].
The particularity of this case consists in the reconstruction of the defect by
latissimus dorsi free flap transfer for coverage due to the nature and the dimensions of the defect in a region of high demanding functionality as the knee joint.
Randomized clinical trial of the effect of quilting
latissimus dorsi flap donor site on seroma formation.
The
Latissimus dorsi is the most reliable and versatile flap available for use in reconstructive surgery today.
Earlier, most of the lumbar hernias were repaired primarily using muscle flaps from gluteus major and medius muscle,
latissimus dorsi muscle and fascia lata.
In this position, the ES (paraspinal muscles: multifidus, longissimus, and iliocostalis), which is contained within the paraspinal retinacular sheath, was identified, and the probe was then moved laterally to identify the QL, located below the ES and the
latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle and superficial to the psoas muscle.
The surgical treatments described in the literature for thoracic insufficiency in SCD include vertical expandable prosthetic titanium ribs (VEPTR) and chest wall reconstruction with
latissimus dorsi flap transfers or polypropylene mesh.
He had had several surgeries on his shoulder which caused nerve damage in his right
latissimus dorsi. His physical therapy had ended a year ago and he stated that he has been working out at the gym trying to restore the muscle bulk himself.
