Abstract

We describe the teres major as a muscle flap. The results of anatomical and radiographic studies demonstrate the surgical anatomy. The details of 4 clinical cases illustrate its application in breast reconstruction. The teres major flap offers advantages over previously described muscle flaps in selected cases of breast and chest contour reconstruction.
