Abstract
Latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps are used to cover body structures or replace tissue that has been lost due to trauma, infection, or surgical excision for tumor. Transfer of these flaps from donor to recipient site is a vital step of surgery as forceful passage of flap may cause damage to blood supply of flap or devitalize the tissue by excessive shearing force. Use of polyvinyl chloride bag for transfer of latissimus dorsi flap through subcutaneous tunnel has been found to be very effective in dealing with this problem.
