Analysis of Latissimus Dorsi Flap Reconstructions

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study examines the outcomes of latissimus dorsi (LD) flap reconstructions performed at the IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna. It aims to analyze the decision-making process regarding the use of LD harvesting for repairing large defects, correlating these choices with patient healing, quality of life, and complications at both the recipient and donor sites. The study will review historical data to identify patterns and outcomes associated with LD flap procedures, focusing on surgery duration, hospitalization, reoperation rates, and patient survival. The findings may help establish guidelines for when LD harvesting is advisable or contraindicated.
