Pressure sores are the challenging wounds to manage surgically, not only for the reconstructive techniques but also for the comorbidities and the special physical characteristics of various patients. This is a retrospective study of 32 cases of sacral pressure ulcers of patients aged 25 to 76 years managed over a period from 2016 to 2021 at various hospitals. Various reconstructive options i.e., rotation-advancement flap, V-Y advancement fascio-cutaneous flap, gluteal perforator flaps etc. were considered for the coverage of sacral wounds grading III, IV and size varying from 20cm2 to 200cm2. The donor sites were closed primarily in all cases. Follow-up observations were conducted for an average of 9 months (ranged from 6 months to 2 years). Cosmetic results were satisfactory, with no surgical site breakdown or recurrence in any of the cases. Other than various reconstructive surgeries following an algorithm various technique of wound preparation is crucial for better outcome.
