Tolerance of latissimus dorsi in immediate breast reconstruction without implant to radiotherapy

– Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) improves the quality of life of patients who undergo mastectomy. The latissimus dorsi flap (LDF) method provides particularly good aesthetic results, but its tolerance to subsequent radiotherapy remains unclear. We thus sought to assess tolerance and aesthetic results and satisfaction, as reported by patients who underwent IBR by LDF with or without subsequent radiotherapy.
