Sensory skin flaps represent a possible solution for the paraplegic who has the problem of recurrent pressure sores. An intercostal neurovascular island flap has been used in 3 cases to provide coverage for sacral ulcers. Sensation was retained to a variable degree in both adults and children. An attempt at coverage of an ischial ulcer with an intercostal neurovascular free flap is also reported. The practical and theoretical aspects of these procedures are discussed.
