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...
متن کاملBreast reconstruction with the profunda artery perforator flap.
BACKGROUND The use of perforator flaps has allowed for the transfer of large amounts of soft tissue with decreased morbidity. For breast reconstruction, the deep inferior epigastric perforator flap, the superior and inferior gluteal artery perforator flaps, and the transverse upper gracilis flap are all options.

متن کاملPerforator flap breast reconstruction after unsatisfactory implant reconstruction.
In 2009, 86,424 breast reconstructions were performed in the United States, with 76% being implant-based procedures. Capsular contracture and infection are the 2 most cited indications for implant explantation, resulting in a reconstruction failure. However, several patients are dissatisfied with implant reconstruction even without the aforementioned complications. We hypothesize that microvasc...
متن کاملInferior Gluteal Perforator Flaps for Breast Reconstruction
Perforator flaps represent the latest in the evolution of soft tissue flaps. They allow the transfer of the patient’s own skin and fat in a reliable manner with minimal donor-site morbidity. The powerful perforator flap concept allows transfer of tissue from numerous, well-described donor sites to almost any distant site with suitable recipient vessels. The inferior gluteal artery perforator (I...
