Summary
Limberg flap has been used for the closure of moderate size sacral pressure sores
in 5 cases. It provides a good padded skin cover with the suture line away from the
midline which is the area of ulceration. No breakdown or ulceration in the flap or
donor defect suture line were seen during 1-4 years of follow up. Operative technique
is briefly described and important points on flap planning are discussed.
