[Modification of the microvascular reanastomosed latissimus dorsi flap for reconstruction after extensive maxillary resection].
Large defects after extended maxillectomy and orbital exenteration were immediately reconstructed using a modification of the revascularized musculocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap. Three skin islands were transplanted based on the muscular part of the flap. The first island replaced the hard palate, the second the lateral nasal wall and the third was used together with the preserved eyelids to reconstruct an eye socket. The muscular part of the flap was folded spirally so that each skin island reached the site to be reconstructed.
