Peptic ulcer
A peptic ulcer is a sore in the lining of your stomach or your duodenum, the first part of your small intestine. A burning stomach pain is the most common symptom. The painStarts between meals or during the nightBriefly stops if you eat or take antacidsLasts for minutes to hoursComes and goes for several days or weeksPeptic ulcers happen when the acids that help you digest food damage the walls of the stomach or duodenum. The most common cause is infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. Another cause is the long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Stress and spicy foods do not cause ulcers, but can make them worse. To see if you have an H. pylori infection, your doctor will test your blood, breath, or stool. Your doctor also may look inside your stomach and duodenum by doing an endoscopy or x-ray.Peptic ulcers will get worse if not treated. Treatment may include medicines to reduce stomach acids or antibiotics to kill H. pylori. Antacids and milk can't heal peptic ulcers. Not smoking and avoiding alcohol can help. You may need surgery if your ulcers don't heal.NIH: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases

Tensor Fascia Lata (TFL) flap is a flap with small volume of muscle on its proximal portion and a thin fasciocutaneous flap on its distal portion. TFL flap in this case was designed in a V-shaped pattern and an extended double folding TFL flap was used in order to cover the sore with a large amount of soft tissue. There is no sign of recurrences after 3 months follow-up. This is a good method for covering trochanteric pressure sores. Check the case and add your valuable opinion.
