There was no difference in satisfaction rate between partial versus total reconstructionsand between reconstruction with or without implant.Conclusion: LD flaps can be a good alternative to abdominal flaps for autologous breast reconstruction for both partial andtotal breast reconstruction and can achieve similar aesthetic results.

Özet

Objectives: Latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle flap can be used as an alternative to abdominal flaps for autologous breast reconstruction. The aim of the present study was to present the results of the quality of life and aesthetic satisfaction of breast reconstructionsurgeries with LD flap and implants.Methods: Sixteen patients who had undergone LD flap breast reconstruction were included in the study. Patients were surveyedon the quality of life and aesthetic satisfaction 12 months following breast reconstruction.Results: There were no major complications observed following surgeries. All of the patients included in the study were highlysatisfied with the final aesthetic results. There was no difference in satisfaction rate between partial versus total reconstructionsand between reconstruction with or without implant.Conclusion: LD flaps can be a good alternative to abdominal flaps for autologous breast reconstruction for both partial andtotal breast reconstruction and can achieve similar aesthetic results.
