Abstract



Background


Superior gluteal artery perforator (SGAP) flaps are a useful adjunct for autologous microvascular breast reconstruction. However, limitations of short pedicle length, complex anatomy, and donor site deformity make it an unpopular choice. Our goals were to define the anatomic characteristics of SGAPs in cadavers, and report preliminary clinical and radiographic results of using the lateral septocutaneous perforating branches of the superior gluteal artery (LSGAP) as the basis for a modified gluteal flap.
