Fig. 2. — Perioperative photographs. (A) The transposition flap donor site shows a visible scar of the hemicoronal incision (red arrow). (B) An additional sagittal, linear incision is made on the scalp 12 cm away from the left superficial temporal artery for flap elevation, considering the maximal length of the latissimus dorsi free flap pedicle. The flap is transposed to the temporal area to cover the original defect, resulting in a new 18×7 cm sized defect in the fronto-parietal area. (C) The new defect is covered with a latissimus dorsi free flap using the left superficial temporal vessels as the recipient.
