    Résumé

    Even though DIEP–SIEA flaps or latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap are the most frequently used, a wide variety of flaps have been described for autologous breast reconstruction. Concerning the choice of donor-site, the aim is to prevent and to limit the morbidity. That is why the donor-site should be carefully chosen, according to the morphology of the patient. Lumbar artery perforator flap (LAP) is an option for breast reconstruction, but it is not well known and its use is limited. This study summarizes the authors’ early experience with free LAP flap for breast reconstruction. Three patients underwent immediate or delayed autologous breast reconstruction using a LAP flap. No vascular by pass was required to lengthen the pedicle. No partial or complete flap necrosis has been reported. There was no surgical donor-site complication. Mean operative time was 7 hours. LAP flap can be considered as a good option for autologous breast reconstruction, especially in patients with unfavorable abdominal donor-site, and impossibility to use a DIEP flap.
