Abstract:
STUDY DESIGN:A report of a patient in whom progressive symptomatic thoracolumbar scoliosis developed after breast reconstruction with a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap. OBJECTIVES:To present the first reported case of progressive symptomatic scoliosis after breast reconstruction with a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap and to suggest that latissimus flap harvest may be contraindicated in patients with preexisting scoliosis. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA:Latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap harvest incorporated into several surgical operations including breast reconstruction has been presented as a relatively benign procedure without significant biomechanical consequence. Nevertheless, various anatomic and animal studies have suggested an important role for balanced latissimus function in terms of proper spinal alignment. Long-term follow-up evaluation of patients after latissimus flap harvest is insufficient and fails to address the specific issue of spinal deformity. METHODS:Postoperative radiographs demonstrated significant progression of the patient's thoracolumbar scoliosis as compared with radiographs taken before her latissimus harvest. Curve progression accompanied by development of severe and disabling back pain were considered indications for surgical curve correction and stabilization. RESULTS:At the time of 1-year follow-up assessment after posterolateral spinal fusion and instrumentation, the patient had experienced complete relief from her back pain and satisfactory spinal fusion. CONCLUSIONS:Although a cause and effect relation cannot be established, this case study suggests that latissimus harvest may have a destabilizing effect on the thoracolumbar spine in the long term, especially in patients with preexisting scoliosis. Alternative procedures should be considered in these patients.
