Modified Limberg flap for lumbosacral meningomyelocele defects.
We have recently developed a technique for closing round or wide oval lumbosacral meningomyelocele defects by modifying the Limberg flap. Four cases of repair of lumbosacral meningomyelocele were treated, with good skin closure in 3. The indications for and advantages of our method are discussed.
