Post-Radiation Large Lumbo-Sacral Defect: Repair by Multiple Flaps in a Single Sitting
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Multiple techniques are available for reconstruction of various soft- tissues defects either secondary to continuous pressure, trauma or radiation necrosis. Though micro-vascular flap repair techniques is the gold standard, yet it is limited by availability of expert hands and cost, latter being a major concern in developing world. Hence, we are presenting a case where multiple fasciocutaneous flaps were used successfully for reconstruction of large post-radiation lumbosacral defects in a single stage.
