Chest CT follow-up of muscle flap and fat pad. Axial CT (A, B, C) and chest radiographs (D, E, F) at 7 days, 1 month, and 10 months postoperatively. The pedicled latissimus dorsi muscle flap (white arrowheads) and free fat pad (black arrowheads) gradually shrank with lung re-expansion but still filled the thoracic and pulmonary cavities, and the dead space did not recur postoperatively
