The latissimus dorsi flap is the oldest and most used technique for breast reconstruction. Nonetheless, there are few studies evaluation the long-term effect of harvesting one of the muscles of the back. This project has four parts. 1. Validation of scales/instrument for Swedish. 2. Long-term results after reconstruction with latissimus dorsi- a ten year retrospective follow-up. 3. Thoracodorsal artery perforator flap (TDAP) vs latissimus dorsi flap- a randomized controlled trial - breast reconstruction. 4. TDAP vs Limber flap - a randomized controlled trial- reconstruction of axillary hidradenitis suppurativa.
