Our surgical resultsin decubitus ulcers

Decubitus ulcers can develop in immobilized patient. Patients with spinal cord injury and elderly patients are at high risk. We presented 36 patient with pressure sore that we operated between May 1994 and January 2000 and our reconstructive procedures. Sacral, trochanteric and ischial pressure sores we are included the study, other sites were excepted. As 3 patient with ischial ulcer were accepted because of recurrence, there were no recur- rence for sacral and trochanteric ulcers. This recurrences were not depend on surgical techniçues perhaps due to pressure. Selecting the proper surgical technique for decubitus ulcer, is important eitherpreventing recurrence and funtional loss. We revievved our experience with reconstruction of decubit ulcers betvveen 1994 and 2000 years.
