Intraoperative views of endoscopy-assisted harvesting of an LD muscle flap. a A 4 cm incision is made on the midaxillary line at the inframammary level. b The endoscopic camera, grasper, and energy device are inserted through the incision and the LD muscle is harvested. c Harvested LD muscle is pulled through the incision and stretched out. d The lateral incision (donor site scar) is closed leaving the harvested LD muscle in the cavity. However, this lateral incision was elongated 2 cm more during surgery for the better surgical field
