Résumé

Breast reconstruction using the latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle is a widely used technique. Muscle-sparing LD (MSLD) has yielded reductions in post-operative complications and improved quality of life. This study aimed to compare post-operative complications between conventional LD and MSLD, in patients undergoing immediate breast reconstruction (IBR).
