Cost-Utility Analysis: Sartorius Flap versus Negative Pressure Therapy for Infected Vascular Groin Graft Managment

BACKGROUND Sartorius flap coverage and adjunctive negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) have been described in managing infected vascular groin grafts with varying cost and clinical success. We performed a cost-utility analysis comparing sartorius flap with NPWT in managing an infected vascular groin graft. METHODS A literature review compiling outcomes for sartorius flap and NPWT interventi...

Infected Groin (Graft/Patch): Managed with Sartorious Muscle Flap

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to review the natural history, clinical outcome and safety in patients undergoing sartorius muscle flap (SMF) for groin infection, including lymphocele. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who underwent SMF in a single center between 2000 and 2009. RESULTS Thirty patients (17 male, 13 female) underwent SMF for groin...

Infrascrotal, perineal, femorofemoral bypass for arterial graft infection at the groin.

HYPOTHESIS Infrascrotal, perineal, femorofemoral bypass is an acceptable procedure for treating infection of a prosthetic arterial graft limited to a unilateral groin. DESIGN A consecutive sample clinical study with a mean follow-up of 29 months. SETTING The surgical department of an academic tertiary care center and an affiliated secondary care center. PATIENTS Nineteen patients with a m...

99TCm-labeled leucocyte scan for detecting infection of vascular graft involving groin.

The clinical value of Technitium-99TCm leucocyte in detecting early post-operative infection of prosthetic vascular grafts, to and from the femoral artery involving groin dissection is assessed. Twenty-five patients underwent bypass procedure using either Dacron or PTFE grafts. 99TCm labeled leucocyte scans were undertaken between 6-8 days following the bypass procedure. Fourteen patients had n...
