Methods: A cohort of 41 patients treated with a quadrantectomny and immediate reconstruction using a myocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap were analyzed and their aesthetic outcomes were evaluated objectively by BCCT.core software. Results: At the end of a 58-month follow-up from the date of initial diagnosis, one patient (2.4%) developed an ipsilateral recurrence, six patients developed distant metastases and three patients died (7.3%) without ipsilateral recurrence, one of them presenting hepatic metastases at the time of the initial diagnosis. We were able to evaluate aesthetic results in 23 patients, 3 assessed as excellent, 12 good and 8 fair. Conclusion: This oncoplastic volume replacement technique obtained a good local control and satisfactory and stable aesthetic results which have maintained unchanged after a long period of time.}, publisher = {BioMed Central}, publisher = {World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2011, 9, 159}, title = {Long-term results of breast conservation and immediate volume replacement with myocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap}, author = {Hernanz de la Fuente, Fernando Luis and Sánchez Gómez, Sonia María and Pérez Cerdeira, María and Redondo Figuero, Carlos}, }
