    Myocutaneous flap surgery offers effective and lasting closure for various tissue defects, particularly decubitus ulcers. This surgical technique aids in the early management of these challenging wounds.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Decubitus ulcers present significant challenges in wound management.
    • Myocutaneous flaps are a reconstructive option for complex tissue defects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of myocutaneous flap procedures.
    • To assess the efficacy of myocutaneous flaps in treating decubitus ulcers and other wounds.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 22 myocutaneous flap procedures on 17 patients.
    • Intravenous fluorescein administration to assess flap viability in select cases.

    Main Results:

    • Eleven patients had decubitus ulcers; 6 had other types of wounds.
    • Four out of ten flaps assessed with fluorescein required trimming.
