Abstract
Background: The sacral region is one of the most frequent sites of pressure sore development. Debridement of pressure sores in the sacral region often results in excessive soft tissue defect. Numerous surgical methods have been used to correct these defects, including skin grafting, local flaps, muscle flaps and free flaps. This study was for evaluation of V-Y advancement gluteus maximus fasciocutaneous flap in management of sacral pressure sores.
Keywords: Gluteal area, Lesions, V-Y design
