Combination latissimus dorsi and groin free flap with double microvascular transfer.
A combined free tissue transfer using the skin and muscle supplied by the thoracodorsal artery and the superficial circumflex iliac artery (groin flap) was transferred to reconstruct a large lower extremity soft-tissue defect. The combination of these two flaps allowed coverage of a large tissue defect, more reliable coverage than either of these flaps alone, and direct donor site closure.
