First we have to know why thre flap failed-most probably due to pressure and free from contamination from urine or faecal matter.So now it has break down,I suggest we tried to preserve as much of the flap if possible but if it is not possible maybe…

surgical wound failed flap

I have a patient whom has an open area on his coccyx, a flap was attempted, it dehisced and healed without closing completely now he has a slit 11x.5x 8.5, the skin is macerated. What product should I use to heal the dehisced area, fill in the depth, and clear up the already healed macerated area of the skin?
