Abstract
We will describe a second phase of breast reconstruction on a young girl suffering from Poland syndrome. She has the
breast, pectoralis major and minor muscle aplasia on the right side. She has no other deformities. The best result is
achieved by combining latissimus dorsi flap and a silicone implant, and even better aesthetic result is accomplished with
endoscopically assisted latissimus dorsi harvesting. Purpose of this operation is to correct the chest asymmetry and to accomplish
good aesthetic result.
