From 1985 through May of 1989, a total of 6 cases of breast carcinomas underwent primary reconstruction of breast immediately following radical mastectomy by using transposition of vaseularized latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap for reconstruction of breast. The re- sults of all these 6 cases were satisfactory. The design of the operation and the operative technique were detailed. The importance of the reconstruction of breast immediately after the radical mastectomy and the advantages of using vascularized latissimus dousi myocutanous flap
for reconstruction were discussed.
