Popis: The operative management of pressure sores in the ischial, sacral and trochanteric region is based on the gluteus maximus muscle and its vascularization. Pressure sores in the sacral region were closed with eleven V-Y musculocutaneous flaps, for the ischial region with fifteen pendulum flaps, and for the trochanteric region with eight medial thigh flaps. In the four years follow-up of 24 patients three recurrences occurred and the post-operative morbidity was acceptable. The operative technique and the complications are further discussed.
