GLUTEAL FLAP BREAST RECONSTRUCTION [4 records]

Record 1 2008-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgery
DEF

The main body of the reconstructed breast, usually before the nipple has been reconstructed.

CONT

The breast mound is made from existing tissue on the body through one of four flap breast reconstruction techniques : TRAM [transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous] flap, DIEP [deep inferior epigastric perforator] flap, latissimus dorsi flap, or gluteal flap. Depending on the amount of available tissue, a breast implant may have to be used in conjunction with flap reconstruction.

French

Domaine(s)

CONT

La reconstruction du sein est une intervention à plusieurs stades qui suppose la reconstruction du monticule mammaire suivi du modelage du mamelon. Selon la matière utilisée pour la reconstruction, la taille désirée du sein reconstruit et la quantité de peau disponible dans la région du sein après la mastectomie, la reconstruction finale du monticule du sein peut avoir lieu en même temps que la mastectomie.

CONT

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.

Record 3 2008-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgery
  • Cancers and Oncology
CONT

During gluteal flap breast reconstruction, a rounded section of skin and fat(and occasionally muscle) is removed either from the top of the buttock or at the crease along the underside of the buttock. After being transferred to the breast, the tissue is shaped to create the breast mound and is attached to the remaining breast tissue. Using complex microsurgical techniques, the blood vessels are reconnected to existing vessels in the area.

OBS

There are two forms of gluteal flap breast reconstruction available after mastectomy : the S-GAP and the I-GAP. S-GAP is an acronym for Superior Gluteal Artery Perforator ;S-GAP reconstruction uses tissue from the top of the buttock, which contains the upper gluteal artery. I-GAP stands for Inferior Gluteal Artery Perforator ;this method uses tissue taken from the crease of the buttock where the thigh and buttock meet and which contains the lower gluteal artery.
