Double perforators-based superior gluteal artery propeller flap for reconstruction of lumbar defects

Double perforators-based superior gluteal artery propeller flap for reconstruction of lumbar defects

Wide local excision of skin cancer in the lumbar area is a challenge to reconstruct. We report on the successful use of a two perforators-based superior gluteal artery perforator propeller flap, for the reconstruction of a lumbar defect.

Superior Gluteal Artery Perforator Flap for Closure of Large Sacral Defects

During the period from September 2001 and December 2003, eleven patients with sacral defects were treated with unilateral superior gluteal artery perforator flap (SGAP flap). The use of a handy Doppler probe was of paramount importance in flap design and operative detection of perforators. The total operative time averaged 3 hours with no major blood loss necessitated blood transfusion. There w...

The superior gluteal artery perforator flap for reconstruction of sacral sores

This report describes our experiences using the superior gluteal artery perforator (SGAP) flaps for reconstruction of 2 sacral sore cases. A 47-year-old female patient and a  38-year-old man with sacral sores were treated in our unit. The size of the defects were approximately 5×6 cm2  and 8×9 cm2, the  defects were repaired by SGAP flaps. The size of designed was  SGAP flaps varied from  7×20 ...

Application and refinement of the superior gluteal artery perforator free flap for bilateral simultaneous breast reconstruction.

BACKGROUND The gluteal artery perforator free flap represents the state of the art in autogenous breast reconstruction for the patient with insufficient abdominal donor tissue. Preservation of the gluteal musculature limits morbidity and allows for rapid patient recovery. The need for intraoperative repositioning has historically limited gluteal artery perforator flap breast reconstruction to o...
