ABSTRACT

Background: Trochanter pressure sores can be treated with random, myocutaneous, fasciocutaneous or free flaps. Aim: To report the use of V-Y and tensor fasciae latae flaps for the treatment of trochanteric pressure sores. Material and Methods: Prospective study of 14 males and two females aged 24 to 64 years, with 17 sores. The surgical technique consisted in the design of a V shaped flap with irrigation in its superior base and lower vertex with one of its extremes in contact with the sore. A resection is made until a vital base is obtained, excising the prominent bone until a plane in which healthy tissue is seen. The flap is raised and rotated, covering the defect. A V-Y primary closure without tensión is performed, leaving drainages that are withdrawn ten days later. Results: The complications recorded were three serranas, which were treated using a closed system with external and internal negative pressure. Two wound dehiscence episodes and two hematomas required a surgical correction. Conclusions: This type of flap is other therapeutic alternative for pressure trochanteric sores.


Las úlceras por presión trocantéricas representan un problema importante a nivel extra e intrahospitalario. Existen múltiples opciones terapéuticas, ya sean colgajos random, musculocutáneos, fasciocutáneos o libres. El objetivo de este estudio es presentar la técnica quirúrgica del Colgajo en V-Y de Tensor de Fascia Lata. Técnica Quirúrgica: Se diseña un colgajo en V con irrigación por su base superior y vértice inferior, contactando uno de sus extremos con la úlcera. La forma del colgajo es de una V-Y. Se reseca esta hasta obtener un lecho vital, resecando además el hueso prominente hasta un plano en que se visualiza tejido sano. Se levanta y rota el colgajo, cubriendo el defecto. Finalmente, se realiza el cierre primario en VY sin tensión, con drenajes que se retiran a los 10 días. Tratamos 17 úlceras en 16 pacientes. Hubo 3 seromas, los que fueron resueltos con sistema de cierre con presión negativa externa e interna. Además hubo 2 casos de dehiscencia de sutura y 2 hematomas resueltos en quirófano. Este colgajo debe estar presente dentro de las posibilidades terapéuticas que se ofrezcan a pacientes con úlceras trocantéricas por decúbito.
