Limberg-latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap for closure of myelomeningocele.

A method is presented in which two well-recognized plastic surgical flap techniques are coupled; the Limberg rhomboid transposition flap and the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap. The technique was used in 2 patients to provide ample, innervated, and well-vascularized skin cover over myelomeningocele defects.
