“…While performing an extremity saving procedure, several resources conform the repertoire of reconstructive specialists, but care should be taken on maintaining some basic principles, aiming to cause the less possible morbidity to the patient. Dorsoepigastric flap, is a resource that has been primarily utilized in the setting of mammary reconstruction; It is a variant of the commonly used latissimus dorsi flap, that utilizes only the descending branch of the thoraco dorsal artery, and based on its perforator branches, allows for the creation of an ample cutaneous island while preserving latissimus dorsi [[9], [10], [11]]. Its use has merely been described in complex upper arm reconstruction before, and should be considered an adequate resource, specially in younger patients to avoid the morbidity of more morbid approaches when feasible.…”
