Popis:	Recently, various techniques have been used to cover sacral pressure sores. These include skin grafts, local flaps, musculocutaneous flaps and fasciocutaneous flaps.We investigated how to decide which technique should best be used for managing sacral pressure sores of individual patients.The points are (1) confidence, (2) damage to patient, (3) surgical technique, (4) infection, (5) sore size, and (6) recurrence of sore.Our first option has been the use of local flaps where possible. However, when local flaps cannot be applied, we recommend the use of musculocutaneous flaps.
