Abstract

The soft tissue defects at the level of lumbosacral region are common in reconstructive surgery. Superior gluteal artery (SGAP) perforator flap is a very useful tool for covering such defects and is associated with a lower percentage of secondary functional effects as regards the gluteus maximus muscle and its innervation. The objective of this paper is report a case, describing the indications, surgical technique, and postoperative outcome of this intervention in a patient with a soft tissue defect in lumbosacral region secondary to an oncological resection.
