A review was performed on 170 patients who underwent 173 consecutive latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap breast reconstructions between 1978 and 1989. The majority of the patients had modified radical mastectomies, and reconstruction was usually delayed for 3 to 18 months after mastectomy. Acceptable symmetry was obtained in the majority of patients without the need for surgery on the opposite breast. Perioperative and long-term complications are reviewed. Patients were followed for an average of 4.7 years after reconstruction. Ninety-four percent of patients demonstrated little or no change in the reconstructed breast after the first year. This method of reconstruction has met patient expectations with a minimum number of procedures and low morbidity.
