Résumé
Pressure sores are agonizing complications of chronically bedridden patients. The management of these lesions particularly with respect to grades III and IV lesions are chiefly surgical and involves a multidisciplinary approach. Although there are a variety of local flap options, like fasciocutaneous flaps, musculocutaneous flaps, perforator flaps, and combinations of these to choose from, there is a paucity of literature regarding which flap is better among these in terms of complication and recurrence rates. The databases searched were as follows: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled trials (January 2000 to July 2020), MEDLINE (January 2000 to July 2020), and EMBASE (January 2000 to August of 2020). Key words used were "pressure ulcer," "flaps," "surgery," "pressure sore" with limits, "human," and "English." Primary outcomes were "overall complication rates" and "recurrence rates." Overall complication was further categorized as flap necrosis, flap dehiscence, infection, and others. Thirty-nine articles were included in the final analysis. There was a statistically significant difference among the various types of flaps for overall complication, flap dehiscence, infection, flap necrosis, and recurrence rates. Our study indicates that musculocutaneous flaps have lower recurrence rates, and combined flaps have lower complication rates. However, various other factors, like donor site morbidity, initial defect size, operating time, intraoperative blood loss, salvage options in case of recurrence, should also be considered while choosing a flap to reconstruct a defect.
