endoscopic-assisted harvest of pedicled and free latissimus dorsi ...

Figure 10. Comparison between incisions of classic and endoscopic LD
harvest.
CONCLUSIONS
Endoscopic-assisted harvesting of the swine LD
muscle, as a pedicled or free flap, is a safe, reliable and
cost-effective technique. Previous familiarization with
endoscopic techniques makes the learning process
faster. The cohesive operating team yields steady
refinements of the operating skills, overcoming the
technical and anatomical constraints. This endoscopicassisted
harvesting of the swine LD muscle model is
an excellent learning model and will hopefully benefit
future clinical practice.
