Simultaneous coverage of two separate defects with two free hemiflaps harvested from one latissimus dorsi muscle.
The latissimus dorsi flap is useful for a variety of reconstructions with splitting and tailoring of the muscle. It can be a good donor muscle for the reconstruction of two separate defects. Two patients with defects over anatomically remote sites were reconstructed using two muscle flaps harvested from one latissimus dorsi muscle and are discussed.
