| Popis: | This study documented the treatment of the inguinal dead space with chronic infection using musculocutaneous flaps. The average age of the patients (5 males and 2 females) was 50.0 years. Six cases of reconstruction after malignant tumor resection and one case after total hip arthoroplasty were treated. Six rectus abdominis flaps and 2 vastus lateralis flaps were used. Previous radiation therapy had been performed on five patients. The duration of chronic infection averaged 2.3 months, excluding a 4- year long case. All flaps survived and the average follow-up period was 2.8 years. Five cases had no relapse of the infection but two cases relapsed 18 months and 2 years respectively after the surgery. These two did not have tumor prostheses removed prior to the surgery. |
