| Abstract: | Sacral defects from 6 to 11 cm in diameter were closed with bilateral fasciocutaneous V-Y advancement flaps. All the defects were easily closed without any postoperative complication. We believe that the V-Y advancement technique using the fasciocutaneous unit has some major advantages for repair of moderate-size sacral defects. It is a safe, simple, and less invasive procedure. |
