The authors present the use of a free latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap for closure of large orbital exenterations. Five cases illustrate different tumor involvements and coverage possibilities. Several technical details are studied. The vascular anastomoses are performed on cervical vessels: external carotid artery internal jugular vein. The latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap is particularly suited for reconstruction of large facial soft tissue defects around the orbit when obliteration of the orbital cavity and restoration of deficient facial skin are necessary with correct morphological results.
