Popis: Lateral breast defect after partial mastectomy is a difficult challenge. Pedicled perforator flap is a new indication for breast surgery. Perforator flaps and fat tissue transplant are new concepts in this kind of reconstruction. Lateral intercostal artery perforator (LICAP) flap has been used for a lot of indications. It can be used for lateral breast defect reconstruction. This flap provides several advantages: minimal donor site morbidity, advantages in flap shaping, better aesthetic results and higher patient satisfaction. The aim of this paper is to present indications of LICAP flap. We discuss its advantages and its limits in lateral breast reconstruction after partial mastectomy. LICAP flap provides a new solution instead of conventional flaps.
