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.

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.

[...] hemos realizado nueve reconstrucciones mamarias unilaterales en pacientes de edades comprendidas entre los 34 y los 55 años, mastectomizadas por cáncer de mama, mediante colgajos basados en perforantes. En 8 casos hemos empleado el colgajo basado en la perforante de la arteria epigástrica profunda inferior (DIEP) y en uno el basado en la perforante de la arteria glútea superior (S-GAP).
