Outcome analysis of breast-conservation surgery and immediate latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction in patients with T1 to T2 breast cancer.

abstract：:Composite tissue defects may involve skin, mucosa, muscle, and bone together or in combinations of two or three of these tissues. Defects involving bone and skin are frequently encountered. Osteocutaneous flaps may be used to reconstruct these composite tissue defects. Sometimes, it is not possible to obtain a vascula...
