Spanish term or phrase: Colgajo de avance

Para la cobertura del escroto se han descrito varias opciones:
Colgajo de avance escrotal posterolateral (zona poco afectada en el linfedema).

TIA,
Juliette

Reference information:
2.9.3.1.4.1 Colgajo de avance en VY
El principio de la operación estriba en avanzar la piel de la región glútea hacia la úlcera por presión utilizando el músculo glúteo mayor como un colgajo «porta vasos». La parte útil carnosa del músculo es trocantérea mientras que la parte que avanza hacia la pérdida de sustancia está generalmente destruida en parte por la úlcera por presión sacra.

2.10.3.1.4.2 Doble avance en VY
Si la anchura de la úlcera por presión sobrepasa la línea media de más de 5 cm o si a veces, durante la operación, la movilidad de un primer colgajo no es suficiente, se necesita un doble colgajo.
