Abstract:
Twenty two latissimus dorsi free flaps transplanted with microsurgical techniques in infected regions are presented. The guarants of success are the end-end anastomosis, the venous drainage over the deep veins, the muscle with its skin coverage. The indications are: soft tissue infections, early infections after fractures, and the chronic osteitis. The economic, social and psychological effects of microsurgical tissue transfer elevate this technique to the procedure of choice.
