accompanies arteries, namely, the thoracodorsal vein with a similar average length and diameter to the thoracodorsal artery. Secondary venous drainage with concomitant veins follows perforating secondary arteries [11]. The motor sup­ply is from the thoracodorsal nerve (posterior cord brachial plexus) which runs parallel to the vascular pedicle and inner­vates the LD muscle [16]. The sensory supply to the mus­cle is from the posterior branches of the lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves laterally, and lateral branches of posterior rami (VI-XII) posteriorly. These branches are valuable to preserve sensation when raising a reverse LD ap based on intercostal perforators [11].
14.3 Preoperative Investigation
The free or pedicled LD ap is not associated with particular preoperative investigations or imaging modalities [11]. This is predominantly related to the consistent anatomy of the pedicle. The underlying factor to determine the feasibility of raising LD ap is a thorough examination to rule out any potential contra­indications. Palpation of the muscle bulk with shoulder exten­sion, medial rotation and adduction against examiner’s hand is indicated [1]. A pinch test for skin paddle orientation is crucial for the myocutaneous LD ap to determine if primary closure is feasible. If the muscle function is thought to be compromised due to previous injury (damage to the thoracodorsal pedicle), pathology or surgery (posterolateral thoracotomy), then pre­operative imaging (Doppler ultrasound) would be essential to determine adequate LD perfusion. Nonetheless, a recent study indicated the benet of reduction in surgical time and identifying thoracodorsal pedicle with a preoperative CT-A in
those with previous axillary surgery or irradiation. Other rela­tive contraindications to perform LD ap is insufcient donor LD bulk, hobbies like climbing causing shoulder weakness and inability to achieve lateral decubitus position to harvest the ap [16, 17, 18, 19, 20].
14.4 Flap Design andMarkings
Flap design is based on LD landmarks, muscle harvest, skin paddle and indication for reconstruction. Preoperatively, the LD muscle is palpated along its anterior border with a pinch test for skin paddle and forceful contraction to visualise it.
All markings in standing position preoperatively are checked
intraoperatively. Anteriorly, a vertical line is drawn from mid­axillary point to mid-point between ASIS and PSIS to mark the most anterior border of the LD muscle. Another line is oblique above the inferior border of the scapula from the posterior axil­lary fold and along tip of the scapula to meet vertebral column, where a vertical line is drawn marking the most posterior bor­der of thoracolumbar fascia. A horizontal line marking the iliac crest identies the most inferior part of the LD ap. The vari­ability in marking is based on whether a skin paddle is raised or a muscle-only ap. Intraoperatively, the patient is in the lateral decubitus position with arm rested on a board at 90 degrees shoulder and elbow exion [21]. The skin paddle is safely marked within the borders of the LD muscle (tip of the scapula superiorly, iliac crest inferiorly, vertebral column posteriorly). Design of the paddle is either transverse (horizontal), oblique or vertical (Figs.14.1, 14.2 and 14.3) [1]. Thoracodorsal perfora­tors can be mapped with handheld Doppler to be incorporated within the skin paddle [14].

Guide
Step 1. Incision and Anterior Flap Dissection The exact incision is based on either a muscle-only ap or a myocutaneous ap. The rst incision is along the poste­rior axillary fold and corresponding to the anterior border of the skin paddle (Fig. 14.4) reaching above the iliac crest margin. Dissection to the fascial plane (Fig.14.5) is continued and a subcutaneous ap is raised anterior to the skin paddle to identify the anterior border of the LD mus­cle (Fig.14.6).
Step 2. Posterior Flap Dissection A subcutaneous ap is raised posterior to the skin paddle edge to further dene the posterior border of LD muscle (Fig.14.7). The muscle edges are identied below the aps and the skin paddle is located

on the LD muscle. Multiple perforators from the posterior intercostal arteries are encountered and isolated with liga­clips throughout LD dissection posteriorly (Fig.14.8).
Step 3. LD Muscle Raising The LD muscle is detached ante­riorly along the posterior axillary line. Teres major and serratus anterior muscles are identied by observing the muscle contrac-

tion and the orientation of the bres. The teres major is noted above the tip of the scapula while the serratus anterior is between the latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major muscle. Then, the lower edge is separated from the iliac crest and thoracolumbar insertion. The posterior border along midline is divided (Fig.14.9), so the skin paddle with the LD muscle is free along the anterior, inferior and posterior borders (Fig.14.10).

Step 4. Identication of Thoracodorsal Pedicle Continue
to raise the LD myocutaneous ap from caudal to cranial. The plane is identied along a layer of loose areolar tissue. Dissection is away from the LD muscle, ensuring the vascu­lar pedicle is preserved (Fig.14.11). The pedicle location is consistent being few centimetres from the anterior edge of LD muscle cranially. Retraction of the pedicle allows visu­alisation of the remaining LD muscle and its attachment.

Step 5. Muscle Separation As dissection progresses cau­dally, identify the tip of the scapula which marks the superior border of LD ap. Continue dissection of the LD from the inferior border of the trapezius muscle. Anteriorly, ensure that the serratus anterior is separated from LD muscle on the inferior- posterior margin (Fig. 14.12). Careful attention is needed when reaching this point to separate muscles rather than en bloc dissection of both muscles which is a common pitfall.
Step 6. Flap Division/Isolation The proximal humeral insertion is identied through careful dissection along a tun­nelled plane. The vascular pedicle underneath the LD tendon is protected with operating surgeon’s ngers while carefully dividing the tendon at insertion. The ap is raised with its vascular supply at this level as free ap or kept attached as a pedicled ap (Fig.14.13). A headlight or lighted retractor is useful in this phase of the operation to clearly identify the tendon insertion and the pedicle.
Step 7. Closure The donor site is closed in a tensionless fashion; multilayered (2/0 PDS and 3/0 Monocryl) and two drains are left in situ (Fig. 14.14). Towel clips are used to help facilitate closure sequentially (Figs. 14.15 and 14.16).

14.6 Core Surgical Techniques inFlap Dissection
Skin Paddle Temporary interrupted sutures are placed between the skin paddle and LD muscle to prevent shear that may injure perforators (Fig.14.17). The orientation of the skin paddle is ide­ally based on perforators along the perforators of the thoracodor­sal artery.
Thoracodorsal Pedicle Protection A cuff of the fascia and fat is to be kept around the pedicle to prevent kinking or
may be divided to avoid muscle contraction at recipient site and animation from shoulder movement.
Venous Congestion The creation of the tunnel should allow for the surgeon’s hand to t at least prior to detachment of humeral insertion of the LD.The main issue with a narrowed tunnel is risk of venous congestion secondary to vascular compression of a pedicled ap.
Arc of Rotation The anterior arc allows the ap to reach the trunk and neck while posterior arc for vertebral defects

Division of LD tendinous Humeral insertion
(cervical to lumbar). This is determined by humeral attach­ment, other muscle insertion (pectoralis minor) and vascular perforators of lumbar, intercostal or serratus anterior mus­cles. The subscapular artery recruitment would increase the length and diameter of the pedicle. The length and size of the ap also determine arc of rotation in reaching defect.
Humeral Insertion Division This constitutes one of the nal steps allowing the ap to mobilise further or detach as a free ap. This is particularly crucial for ipsilateral shoulder defect reconstruction or breast reconstruction as a pedicled ap (Fig.14.18).

14.7 Clinical Scenario
Case 1 Right shoulder reconstruction with pedicled LD ap. This 67-year-old gentleman had a total shoulder arthro­plasty. The prosthesis became infected and was subsequently removed by the orthopaedic team. After debridement a pedi­cled myocutaneous LD ap was performed to cover exposed shoulder joint. The patient had an uneventful recovery (Figs.14.19, 14.20, 14.21, and 14.22).
