According to the literature, the incidence of surgical site infections is 2.0%–2.5%. These complications are sometimes accompanied by soft tissue defects, which require special treatment, including skin grafting.</p> <p><bold>CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION:</bold><italic> </italic>The paper presents a clinical case of postoperative wound infection in the lumbar region. Complication management resulted in a 12×6 cm tissue defect. The wound included previously implanted metal screws and pins. To address this issue, the defect was repaired using a perforator lumbar flap. The implants were not removed. The postoperative wound healed properly, the implants were preserved, and the patient has been followed up since 2014.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold> Skin grafting using a perforator flap is an option in soft tissue defect repair due to infectious complications of spinal surgery.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Введение.</bold> Инфекционные осложнения области хирургического вмешательства являются серьёзной проблемой после операций на позвоночнике. Чаще всего в литературе приводится показатель 2,0–2,5% инфекционных осложнений области хирургического вмешательства. Иногда данные осложнения сопровождаются дефектом мягких тканей, что требует особого подхода, в том числе выполнения кожной пластики.</p> <p><bold>Описание клинического случая.</bold> В данной статье описан клинический случай инфекционного осложнения послеоперационной раны области поясницы. В результате лечения осложнения сформировался дефект тканей размером 12×6 см. В ране находились ранее установленные металлические винты и стержни. Для решения данной проблемы выполнено замещение дефекта перфорантным поясничным лоскутом. При этом металлические конструкции не удалялись. Послеоперационная рана зажила хорошо, металлоконструкция сохранена, пациентка динамически наблюдается с 2014 года.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Кожная пластика перфорантным кожным лоскутом является одним из вариантов выбора при лечении дефектов мягких тканей при инфекционных осложнениях области хирургического вмешательства на позвоночнике.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>infectious complications of spinal surgery</kwd><kwd>methods of wound closure</kwd><kwd>perforator flap</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>инфекционные осложнения хирургии позвоночника</kwd><kwd>методы закрытия ран</kwd><kwd>перфорантный лоскут</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Durgun M, Baş S, Aslan C, Canbaz Y, Işık D.
