Gland Surg. 2017 Dec;6(6):729-732. doi: 10.21037/gs.2017.07.03.

Abstract

Implant-based breast reconstruction can be performed using a choice of various types of breast implants. However, cases where the breast shapes are unsuitable for implant-based reconstruction method are occasionally encountered. We present two patients with wide trunks who underwent breast reconstruction using an unusual configuration that involved a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap combined with two paranemic implants.

Keywords: Breast reconstruction; latissimus dorsi flap; paranemic implants; two implants.
