Popis: Patients with refractory pressure sores resistant to both conservative or surgical treatment are sometimes encountered. We experienced 3 patients whose skin and subcutaneous tissues were not available for local rotation flaps. The island flap procedure was performed in these patients. Postoperative courses were uneventful and this procedure was judged to be very useful for these patients.
