The latissimus dorsi m. and its segmental vascularity were observed in 66 specimens. The segmental arteries were found to be regularly distributed within the muscle, making it possible to design 4-6 segmental flaps. Of these the lateral 3rd or 4th is the thinnest and has the longest vascular pedicle.
