title: Repair of defect of anterior chest wall with a turnover, dermal-fat, deltopectoral flap: case report.
abstract: We present a case in which a full-thickness defect of the anterior chest wall was closed with a turnover, dermal-fat, deltopectoral flap--with split-skin grafts for the cover. This is a worthwhile alternative procedure to be added to the already numerous techniques currently available for the repair of such defects.
