Treating surgical site infection following posterior instrumentation with free-style deepithelialized propeller flap: A case report

Datli, Asli, Karasoy, Ismail, Zeynal, Mete

Abstract

Surgical site infection is a challenging situation for all types of surgeons. Extensive debridement with or without implant removal can create soft tissue defects. A well-vascularized, adequate soft tissue is needed to cover the wound and to fill the dead space for proper healing. Herein, we describe our approach to a large posterior trunk defect with dead space and our solution to manage an intraoperative complication using a free-style deepithelialized propeller flap.
