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. 1, record 1, Spanish, - reconstrucci%C3%B3n%20mamaria%20mediante%20colgajo%20de%20perforante%20de%20la%20arteria%20gl%C3%BAtea%20inferior

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. 1, record 2, English, - gluteal%20flap%20breast%20reconstruction

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. 1, record 2, English, - gluteal%20flap%20breast%20reconstruction

Ce lambeau est utilisé en reconstruction mammaire uniquement en transfert libre, permettant une reconstruction mammaire sans utilisation de prothèse. La rançon cicatricielle au niveau de la zone donneuse est le plus souvent minime, surtout si la cicatrice est située dans le pli sous-fessier. Mais, la réalisation technique de ce lambeau est difficile et ses indications sont rares. Le lambeau libre de muscle grand fessier est utilisé en général quand il existe une contre-indication à l'utilisation d'un lambeau de muscle grand dorsal ou de muscle grand droit. 1, record 3, French, - lambeau%20de%20muscle%20grand%20fessier
