- Abstract:
- A case using a sensate myocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap for oral defect reconstruction is reported. Preparation of the cutaneous branches of a latissimus dorsi autologous transfer and their subsequent anastomoses with sensitive nerves at the recipient site resulted in superficial and deep sensibility of the transfer, following a short rehabilitation period. As early as 4 months postoperatively, pain and pressure sensations could be evoked in the flap. Sharp and blunt discrimination and sense of vibration were found 6 months postoperatively. Nine months postoperatively, caloric differentiation could be elicited.
