Abstract

The utility of pedicled latissimus dorsi kiss flap for the reconstruction of chest wall defect is still an underutilized option. But the peculiar design and structure of the kiss flap with two semicircular flaps of equal diameter with same vascular trunk makes it amenable to cover large chest wall defects especially at places where plastic surgery facility is unavailable. We have used this flap to reconstruct large chest wall defect of size 20×18 cm in our patient operated for recurrent chest wall dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. In the follow-up, both recipient kiss latissimus dorsi flap and donor site flap healed well without edema or extravasation.
