Abstract
An extended serratus anterior myocutaneous flap with a vascularized ri b has been used, in two cases, for reconstruction of large full-thickn ess chest wall defects after resection of recurrent breast cancer. Usi ng this method, the bony support and the soft tissue of the chest wall can be safely reconstructed.
