Overview

Introduction:
Pressure ulcers in spinal cord injury represent a challenging problem that often leads to recurrent hospitalizations, multiple surgeries, and potentially devastating complications.

Methods:
Review article.

Results:
The paper presents possible types of reconstructive surgery of ischial, sacral and trochanteric pressure ulcers and our own experience with procedures of such pressure ulcers done in three years.

Conclusion:
We emphasize the versatility and reliability of gluteus maximus musculocutaneus flaps and the importance of preoperative preparation and postoperative care.

Key words:
pressure ulcer – spinal cord injury – gluteus maximus musculocutaneus flap
