Case 2 Amputated contralateral left forearm stump resur­faced with Free myocutaneous LD ap. This 37-year-old man had a crush avulsion injury to the arm during an indus­trial accident. His forearm was avulsed and he sustained seg­mental fractures of the radius, ulna and humerus. Replantation was not feasible due to the poor condition of the amputated part and the signicant crush avulsion mechanism. To sal-
vage his exposed radius and ulna and to preserve function of his elbow joint, a contralateral free myocutaneous LD ap was performed. This was anastomosed to the brachial artery and associated venae comitantes. He made an excellent recovery and was tted with an upper limb prosthesis (Figs.14.23, 14.24, 14.25, 14.26, 14.27, 14.28, 14.29, and
14.30).

Case 3 Right lower limb open fracture resurfaced with a free LD ap. This 57-year-old man had a right lower limb injury from a road trafc accident. The right leg had open tibia fracture (Gustilo- Anderson IIIB) with compromised posterior compartment muscles. The initial operation involved debridement of devitalised muscles and bony sta­bilisation with an external xator. This was followed by

denitive fracture xation, soft tissue coverage with LD muscle ap and split thickness skin graft. The extensive nature of the wound with bony exposure and large soft tis­sue defect necessitated the need for LD muscle ap. A three-vessel run-off conrmed on CT-A and anastomosis was performed end to end (thoracodorsal to posterior tibial artery) (Figs.14.31, 14.32, and 14.33).

14.8 Pearls and Pitfalls
Incision The orientation of the scar should be attempted to be covered by clothes. A horizontal scar can be hidden along bra straps for women allowing a better cosmetic result of donor site.
Vascular Pedicle Dissection The pedicle is identied and protected when progressing into caudal LD insertion. Identify the branch to the serratus anterior to prevent injury to the vascular pedicle to the LD ap. The vascular pedicle can expand to include branch to the serratus anterior or tip of the scapula when raised as a chimeric ap.
Anatomy Preservation The surgeon should ensure there is clear identication of the surrounding muscles and vasculature throughout dissection. Allow orientation of bres to orientate LD from other muscles.
Donor Site Towel clips are used to help facilitate closure sequentially (Fig.14.18). Drains are to be kept until output volume <30 mls in each. Quilting is recommended to reduce the risk of seroma formation on donor site [22].
Flap Harvest The LD ap can be raised in an extended fashion recruiting subcutaneous tissue to increase volume. Subcutaneous tissue fat pads are distributed in the posterolat­eral thoracic region in ve zones. This corresponds to area under cutaneous crescent of LD skin paddle (Zone 1), the entire ap between the muscle and fascia (Zone 2), scapular hinge ap above superomedial of LD muscle (Zone 3), ante­rior hinge ap on the external forward part of LD (Zone 4) and suprailiac fat zone above iliac crest on lower aspect of LD ap (Zone 5) [23]. This is particularly useful in breast reconstruction for a satisfactory volume replacement, avoid­ance of implant and better cosmetic appearance.
Flap Inset Aim for tensionless inset of pedicled ap by releasing any fascial attachment that prevents advancement of the ap. Observe the ap for any evidence of venous con­gestion once inset into defect.
Patient Positioning The lateral position with arm up on the LD side harvest allows good planning. Patients may need to be repositioned to allow ap inset into defect. Nonetheless, a trans-axillary approach is feasible with the patient in a supine position also described to harvest a portion of LD muscle ap in facial reanimation [24]. The option for prone positioning is noted for bilateral breast reconstruction or even unilateral [25].
Flap Size The broad size of LD muscle and its thickness allow coverage for large defects in the lower or upper limb,
head and neck or trunk defects. The LD muscle can provide a better option than fasciocutaneous aps particularly in overweight patients where fasciocutaneous aps would be bulky in comparison to the more slender LD muscle.

This cadaveric study provides the basis for safe myo­cutaneous LD ap harvest based on vascular angiosomes to prevent skin necrosis in peripheral areas. First vas­cular territory is by direct anastomosis of perforating branches of the thoracodorsal artery and branches of the ninth, tenth and eleventh intercostal and scapular circum­ex arteries. A second vascular territory is based on per­forating branches of the subcostal artery and perforating branches of the rst and second lumbar arteries. If the skin above LD muscle is recruited, this would extend into a third vascular territory caudally from the inferior bor­der of the twelfth rib. These vascular territories are con­nected with choke vessels for overlapping angiosomes. We advocate the use of intraoperative adjuncts to further illustrate the vascular territories intraoperatively.

This is an interesting anatomical and clinical study demonstrating a new concept based on reverse LD ap harvest. Blood supply is based on perforators from sixth intercostal to subcostal area, dened as a “hotspot” as 7cm broad area over eighth to eleventh intercostal ves­sels. Reconstruction of the lateral thoracic chest wall and sacral area is deemed feasible based on this concept.

The innovative concept of robotic microsurgery is dem­onstrated in LD ap harvest for delayed and immediate breast reconstruction following radiotherapy. Minimal donor site morbidity with three port sites access required for instruments without an incisional site. Long-term outcome (>1year) is part of future research for robotic LD ap in breast reconstruction. The senior author rst described the technique in 2012 and advocates the need to be selective in choosing suitable patients for this technique.

Lower limb defects for Gustilo-Anderson IIIB and IIIC open fractures require complex reconstruction. Due to vascular injury, limited reconstructive options were available from the ipsilateral leg.

Neural tube defects including meningomyelocele require careful choice of aps for adequate coverage. This case illustrates the use of bilateral split LD mus­cle to cover a lumbar defect in a 2-month-old baby. The aps are based on the thoracic and lumbar perforators advanced towards midline without tension. Bilateral LD aps were advanced along the orientation of muscle bres with primary closure of donor site as V-Y advance­ment ap.

15.1 Introduction
The conventional latissimus dorsi muscle or myocutaneous ap is considered the workhorse ap for large defect cover­age in the elds of reconstruction, and it has been well­described in numerous reports. However, sacrice of the latissimus dorsi muscle can cause donor damage affecting shoulder function. Recently, donor function effects and mor­bidities have been increasing where substantial amounts of muscle are sacriced. Koshima and Soeda introduced the “perforator ap” concept when using deep inferior epigastric aps in 1989. The perforator concept reduces donor morbidi­ties and creates thin aps without the need for any debulking procedures. Angrigiani later described the thoracodorsal artery perforator ap in the lateral thoracic region, and the use of this ap was developed and expanded by the authors Y.H.Kim and J.T.Kim.
Unfortunately, the thoracodorsal artery perforator ap has not achieved the popularity of the anterolateral thigh ap due to a lack of exact surface landmarks for perforator mapping and the lateral position needed for ap harvesting. However, accumulated knowledge of regional anatomy and clinical experience has facilitated perforator mapping and provided an easy route for obtaining thoracodorsal artery perforator aps in a supine position. As a result, the thoracodorsal artery perforator ap now provides as good an option for soft tissue resurfacing as the anterolateral thigh ap.
15.2 Anatomy
15.2.1 Arterial Supply
Previously, two types of perforator, septocutaneous and mus­culocutaneous, were recognized at the same donor site of the

ank area, and two perforator aps based on these two perfo­rators were clinically available. With more experience and the accumulation of anatomical knowledge, it is clear that more rows of perforators originate from the lateral thoracic artery as direct cutaneous perforators in the lateral thoracic region. Thus, three longitudinal rows of perforator groups in the lateral thoracic region, the anterior, middle, and posterior rows, run at intervals and parallel to the anterior border of the latissimus dorsi muscle and lateral border of the pectoralis major muscle, and these provide surface landmarks for ap design (Fig.15.1).
The anterior row of perforators is located along the lateral border of the pectoralis major and on the surface of the ser­ratus anterior muscle. Most of these are derived from the lat­eral thoracic artery and are direct cutaneous perforators from the axillary artery. In some cases the lateral thoracic artery originates from the subscapular arterial system, but regard­less of its origin, this artery is relatively small compared to the other rows of perforators. Also the venous drainage is not the same as the arterial drainage, and the unique lateral tho­racic vein should be included once the lateral thoracic artery perforator has been chosen. In addition, the pedicle is rela­tively short because of the absence of an intramuscular course. Several reports highlight the usefulness of lateral thoracic artery perforator aps. The ease of nding and dis­secting these perforators is a great merit, but nevertheless they are not necessarily the rst option since other reliable musculocutaneous or septocutaneous perforators are known to exist.
The middle row of perforators lies anterior to the latissi­mus dorsi muscle border and arises from branches of the tho­racodorsal system. The thoracodorsal artery penetrates the latissimus dorsi muscle about 8–14cm from the bifurcation of the subscapular artery. Shortly before it enters the muscle, a branch is given off to the serratus anterior muscle. The latissimus dorsi muscle is supplied by two main muscular branches from the thoracodorsal artery, horizontal or trans­verse branches of the thoracodorsal artery and descending

Fig. 15.1 Schematic drawing of the right lateral thoracic area. The anterior row of direct cutaneous perforators (DCp) is from the lateral thoracic artery, while the middle rows of the septocutaneous perforators (SCp) and direct cutaneous perforators originate from the cutaneous branch, which are from the thoracodorsal artery or serratus anterior branch. The posterior row of musculocutaneous perforators (MCp) sprout from the latissimus dorsi muscle, and those three perforator rows are horizontally connected with three perforator rows. Flaps based on the three types of perforator are named lateral thoracic perforator aps (LTp), thoracodorsal perforator aps (TDp) and latissimus dorsi perfo­rator aps (LDp), respectively
branches of the thoracodorsal artery, and numerous musculo­cutaneous or septocutaneous perforators arise from each branch. The descending branches run parallel to the anterior border, and the horizontal branches run obliquely to the dor­sal and medial part of the muscle.
The most posterior row is made up of musculocutane­ous perforators passing through the latissimus dorsi mus­cle. These perforators often originate from posterior horizontal branches of the thoracodorsal artery and are widely distributed over the large area of latissimus dorsi muscle. They are quite difcult to dissect intramuscularly so it is better to choose a perforator near the muscle border or in a thin area of muscle. Not all perforators can be dom-

inant, and dominance is variable, but if a reliable perfora­tor can be selected, it can provide nourishment to a 25cm length of ap.
15.2.2 Venous Drainage
All venous branches drain into the axillary vein, except for occasional branches draining into the subclavian or brachial vein. The important thing about the venous anatomy is the course of the lateral thoracic vein. All the perforators in the lateral thoracic region except the lateral thoracic artery have the same course as the arterial and venous branches. But the lateral thoracic artery and vein often drain in a different way. So venous dissection should be performed with care when the lateral thoracic artery is selected as the dominant perforator.
15.2.3 Nerves
The thoracodorsal motor nerve accompanies the pedicles, and it is easy to preserve this nerve during dissection of a pedicle. The intercostal nerves are the dominant sensory nerves in this region and are useful for harvesting sensate aps. The other sensory nerves of the proximal region of the armpit, including the costo-brachial and lateral thoracic nerves, should be saved.
15.3 Preoperative Investigation
The handheld Doppler provides a simple and easy way to detect reliable perforators. However, it can get confused by the source vessels and serratus anterior branches or lateral intercostal perforators. Therefore the use of preoperative mapping using a handheld Doppler is now decreasing.
High-resolution ultrasonograms have recently been used to detect perforators. They provide the locations and sizes of vessels and blood ow information. A skillful radiologist is required to detect reliable perforators and a lot of time is needed for preoperative mapping.
CT angiography requires less labor and time than sono­grams, but radiation exposure and cost problems remain. Preoperative CT angiography is mandatory for preparation of recipient vessels in lower extremity reconstruction, while it is not suitable for perforator mapping in the lateral thoracic region. Mun et al. introduced multidetector-row computed tomographic angiography for thoracodorsal artery perforator
