Aim: To observe the outcome of closure of wide based defects by various rotational flaps for meningomyelocele defects. Study setting: Neurosurgery Department, Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Rahim yar khan Duration: From Oct 2018 to Oct 2020, Methodology: We included 15 patients with wide based myelomeningocele anomalies in the neurosurgery department, Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Rahim yar khan. Age ranged from four days to eight years. The flaw had a diameter of between 8x5cm and 12x8cm. Rotational flaps were used to restore soft tissue defects in all cases. Result: In this study, we did posterior intercostal artery perforator flap(superiorly based) in 40% patients, double rotation flap (yin yang) in 26.7% patients, superior gluteal artery perforator flap in 20 % patients and z plasty in 13.3 % patients. Regarding complications, 2 (13.3%) individuals had a superficial wound dehiscence. One individual (6.7%) developed necrosis of the distal portion of the flap, which was conventionally handled. Postoperatively, no neurosurgical problem occurred. After an average of 6 months, no patient experienced reappearance or dural sac herniation. Conclusion: Restoration of large meningomyelocele defects using local rotational flaps is a secure and reliable approach for abnormalities in the lumbosacral region. Keywords: Meningomyelocele, rotational flaps

Abstract Prolong confinement to bed in spinal injury patients imparts constant pressure on bony prominences resulting impairment of blood flow to local tissue. Constant pressure of 2 hours or more produces irreversible changes leading to tissue necrosis and development of pressure sore. Sacrum encounters highest pressure in supine position and is the commonest site of pressure sore in spinal cord injury patients followed by trochanter and heel. Objective of the study Observation on management of sacral pressure sore by superior gluteal arterial perforatorbased flap using anatomical land marks in the absence of facility of Doppler probe for isolation of superior gluteal arterial perforators. Materials and methods Thirteen patients of spinal cord injury presented with sacral pressure sore were managed surgically using superior gluteal artery perforator-based flap coverage. The location of the artery was identifi ed using anatomical land marks. In 10 patients the flap was heeled uneventfully, one had signifi cant complication with wound dehiscence. Conclusions Management of sacral pressure sore by superior gluteal arterial perforator-based flap using anatomical land marks is a simple and reliable procedure. The learning curve is not that stiff. Sophisticated instruments are not required for this procedure.
