Abstract
Conclusion.- The number of secondary pedicles is not constant. The entire flap can be safely based on 2 secondary pedicles when the latissimus dorsi muscle has 3 secondary pedicles. When this muscle has 4 or 5 secondary pedicles, the entire flap should be at least based on 3 secondary pedicles, particularly if the skin island is very far from the origin of these vessels.
