Modified Hamstring Musculocutaneous Flap for the Coverage of Ischial Pressure Sores

Abstract: Ischial pressure sores can be efficiently covered with a modification of the traditional V-Y advancement flap, the musculocutaneous hatchet flap. Results of operations performed on 10 patients prove its reliability.

“…We used the musculocutaneous (hamstring) flap for the coverage of an ischial decubitus ulcer first. 4 For this, a modified method proved to be successful in several cases, and we tried to apply the same principle to the gluteus maximus muscle flap. We covered a small (not larger than 6 cm) sacral decubitus with a unilateral musculocutaneous hatchet flap.…”

“…We developed the hatchet-shaped design in 1998, based on our favorable experience with the hamstring musculocutaneous hatchet flap, used for the coverage of ischial ulcers. 4 Later, we implemented the hatchet-shaped gluteus maximus musculocutaneous flap for the coverage of nondecubitus sacral skin and soft-tissue defects.…”

“…This principle has been adapted from the musculocutaneous flaps used in the operative treatment of decubitus ulcers. It was in an operation of ischial pressure sore that a hamstring musculocutaneous hatchet flap was first used [7]. Gluteus maximus musculocutaneous flaps are used to close the sacral decubitus.…”

“…The scale is 1 of the most intensively studied assessment scores used to identify the risk of developing pressure ulcers. 9 It is composed of the following 6 items which can be taken into account by nursing staff: Surgery Using Collagen Matrix sensory perception, degree of skin exposure to moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction and shear. The lowest possible score is 6, which means considerable risk of developing pressure ulcers, and the highest possible score is 23 meaning the lowest risk of pressure ulcers.…”
