title: [Latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap closure in mastectomies after chemotherapy of advanced and progressive breast cancers].
abstract: A latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap now appears to be the best solution to closing large carcinological exeresis of the breast. After an analysis of a series of 14 cases of advanced cancer (T3 or T4) or of progressive cancers (PeV3) of the breast treated by inductive chemotherapy and which underwent surgery at the Strasbourg CRLCC (France), the authors stress the simplicity and reliability of the method, which can make it possible to carry out an extensive and complete exeresis, which is of primordial importance in the control of the local tumor. Its excellent trophic quality made it possible to start radiochemotherapeutic adjuvant treatments rapidly. The other methods (myocutaneous flap of the rectus abdominis, Kiricuta's epiploic flap, neighboring autoplasties) now persist only in cases of advanced breast tumor in which the greater dorsal flap is contraindicated.
