Robotic Latissimus Dorsi-Flap Breast Reconstruction: 101 Proce- dures in 30 Months

The Latissimus Dorsi-muscle Flap (LDF) was one of the firstmethods proposed for breast reconstruction. Implant breast reconstruction remained the more frequent method used (46.5% in a French study) [1] with recently development of Immediate Breast Reconstruction (IBR) with implant associated with a cellular matricesor synthetic meshes. Myo-cutaneous flap with dorsi-muscle or rectus abdominal muscle has been frequently used during last years.However, myo-cutaneous rectus abdominal flap has been replaced with free-flaps, particularly with the development of Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator (DIEP).
