Thoracolumbar-sacral flaps in the treatment of sacral pressure sores.
The treatment of pressure sores is a challenging problem. A new flap is described to be added to the armamentarium of surgeons looking after these patients. This procedure is not presented as a panacea for the sacral pressure sores but as an additional technique that could be used in very large sacral pressure sores, particularly recurrent pressure sores following conventional procedures.
