Available online through MWHC library: 2002 - present, Available in print through MWHC library: 1999 - January 2007

The latissimus dorsi flap with immediate fat transfer is a viable option for fully autologous breast reconstruction in patients who are not candidates for free flap reconstruction. Technical modifications described in this article allow for high-volume and efficient fat grafting at the time of reconstruction to augment the flap and mitigate complications associated with the use of an implant.
