Abstract
Background: Despite advances in reconstruction techniques, the treatment of sacral sores remains challenging to plastic surgeons. Perforator-based fasciocutaneous flaps for reconstructing pressure sores can achieve good functional results.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 12 patients who underwent SGAP flap reconstruction at
SGRDIMSAR over a 1-year period.
Results: There were 8 men and 4 women in the study. All reconstructed flaps survived completely with no mortality or major donor site complications. Three patients had a minor infection and wound dehiscence that healed spontaneously.
Conclusions: These observations suggest that the SGAP flap is a relatively easy flap to raise, with good reliability and minimal complications, and is therefore highly recommended for the reconstruction of the sacral pressure.
