Abstract
Despite advances in the treatment of breast cancer, there are cases in which the disease occurs in advanced stages and requires aggressive surgical treatments that cause large defects in the chest wall. Within the different techniques included in oncoplastic surgery, the thoracoabdominal flaps, included in the group of rotation flaps, have been postulated as an attractive technique to cover the wide defects resulting from these extensive surgeries, in order to start adjuvant treatment earlier and improve survival without increasing morbidity. It is important to establish a correct indication and an exhaustive knowledge of the anatomy in order to achieve a simple closure of the defect with good skin coverage.
