En la actualidad la evidencia de una anatomía fiable de la región glútea, la ubicuidad de la zona donante que permite obtener un volumen de tejido adecuado para reconstruir la mama y la posibilidad de llevar a cabo colgajos neurosensitivos, han hecho que los colgajos de perforantes de la región glútea, S-GAP (colgajo de perforantes de la arteria glútea superior) e I-GAP (colgajo de perforantes de la arteria glútea inferior), se hayan convertido en una alternativa válida para reconstrucción de mama mediante tejido autólogo.
