Brothers-in-arms: Liaison between spine surgeons and plastic surgeons in wound repair after complex spine surgery

Abstract

In NASSJ, Brown and Rubayi have presented an interesting case and discussion of a morbidly obese young female who had midline lumbosacral incisional dehiscence superimposed with infection following lumbopelvic fixation for complex spinopelvic trauma [1]. The authors report a successful outcome in this patient with a sliding musculocutaneous flap overlying the left gluteus maximus muscle.
