Old and frail patients with advance breast malignancy require mastectomy which often results in large defects requiring soft tissue cover. We present three cases of large fasciocutaneous perforator based V-Y advancement flaps for reconstruction of large post-mastectomy wounds in older patients with large tumours. This technique reduces the morbidity of patients who have severe co-existing morbidity factor in addition to the advance breast disease.
