title: [The musculocutaneous flap of the latissimus dorsi in the treatment of recurrences of breast cancer].
abstract: Breast cancers local recurrence treatment usually requires a large chirurgical resection. Latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap was used after mastectomy in 27 patients. This technique was performed in 14 patients who had a recurrence after exclusive radiotherapy treatment. The follow-up of all the patients was more than 5 years. A 42% survival rate has been quoted in this group, after a 11 years period. Latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap seems to be a satisfactory alternative when performing reconstruction after wall excision under 300 cm2, excepted for recurrence of fast kinetic cancers.
