title: One-stage repair of multiple bed sores.
abstract: Management of multiple bed sores which are deep and of large area presents a special challenge to the surgeon, especially when all the sores are within the same anatomical region. We are presenting our experience of one-stage repair of bed sores. Representative cases are discussed including a patient who needed four flaps to close the ulcers. There were no major complications in any of the patients. We advocate one-stage repair in selected patients.
