Abstract

Background: Hands play an important role in making social interactions, working, and interacting with the surroundings. Hand injuries are very varied and common in our daily lives. Skin grafting cannot close large open wounds exposing tendons, bones, blood vessels, or nerves. In this case, it needs to be treated with a skin flap. The pedicled groin skin flap is safe to treat wrists, hands, and fingers soft tissue defects. Objective: To survey and evaluate of results of treatment of soft tissue defects in the wrist and finger area using seamless pedicle inguinal flap. Materials and Methods: Case series report patients with soft tissue defects of the wrist, hands, and finger were treated with pedicle groin flaps in Can Tho Central General Hospital from 2022 to 2023. Results: Research on 4 male patients with an average age from 23-37 years old) with software defects of wrists, hands, and fingers due to electric burns and traffic accidents who were treated with a seamless inguinal flap with an average flap size from 12 - 96 cm2. All of the surgeries were successful. Then, we evaluated the result by recording the viability of the flaps and patients’ satisfaction. Conclusion: A pedicle groin flap is a safe and effective way to treat wrists, hands, and finger soft tissue defects. This method can be used in many places with only basic techniques and without the aid of high-tech equipment but can still yield good and consistent results.
