Utilisation du Vaccum-Assisted Closure® pour la reconstruction d'une perte de substance thoracique transfixiante avec exposition d'une plaque en Gore Tex® : à propos d'un cas

Vacuum-Assisted Closure (VAC) technique has been used in the treatment of acute and chronic wounds. The authors report a case of large thoracic defect, where the VAC was used to cover an exposed Gore Tex prosthesis after the failure of a latissimus dorsi flap. The VAC managed to save the Gore Tex prosthesis before a delayed reconstruction.
