Abstract

The authors conducted a retrospective study of 80 cases of pressure sores of the pelvic girdle. This study was designed to evaluate the therapeutic approach, surgical reconstruction techniques and their results at 1 year. Only 32 patients (40%) underwent surgical reconstruction, always using regional pedicled myocutaneous flaps. 15.6% of these patients developed a local recurrence (5/32). Analysis of the results of this series shows that failures of reconstruction cannot be attributed to surgical techniques, but to their indications. The reduction of recurrences depends on earlier medical and surgical management and more rigorous patient selection, especially concerning psychological aspects. The patient's cooperation is an essential condition to the success of treatment.
