ABSTRACT
<p>After vascular surgical procedures, complications of the wounds in the groin region may sometimes lead to prosthetic graft infections or prolonged hospital stays. While some wounds heal completely during re-suture and VAC therapy, healing of other wounds that involve refractory graft infection, lymphorrhea, or a dead space, is extremely difficult. We performed tissue coverage using a Sartorius muscle flap for such difficult cases. The muscle is twisted onto itself to fill the dead space with some blood supply. Tissue coverage using a Sartorius muscle flap with adequate blood flow was effective in improving lymphorrhea and infection. We report four such cases where complications in the groin region were managed using a Sartorius muscle flap for wounded coverage.</p>
