摘要
Endoscopically assisted harvest of free latissimus dorsi muscle flaps is being used more frequently in reconstructive microsurgery because it requires a smaller incision and leaves a more acceptable scar in the donor site. Donor-site morbidity was compared between groups of 22 latissimus dorsi muscles harvested using the endoscopically assisted technique and 26 using the traditional technique. The results revealed no statistically significant differences in the amount of intraoperative bleeding, the incidence of postoperative hematoma and seroma, and the incidence of donor-site wound infection as assessed by the surgeon. However, a patient questionnaire revealed that even though it did not reach a statistically significant difference, endoscopically assisted harvest of the latissimus dorsi muscle had less pain and allowed earlier and better movement of the upper extremity of the donor site. The patients' attitudes and feelings about the scar and overall satisfaction were also higher in the endoscopic group, which demonstrated a statistically significant difference.
