Colgajo bilateral de perforantes lumbares para reconstrucción glútea tras infiltración por modelantes

Abstract

The injection of modeling substances is a process used with esthetic purposes since XIX century to improve body contour. In the past decade, there has been an increased demand on surgical techniques for reconstruction of defects arising after resection of anatomical units, such as: expanders, grafts, local flaps, regional flaps and free flaps. These resections are due to the infiltration of modeling substances. We describe a reconstruction process with a bilateral lumbar perforator flaps in a case of gluteal adyuvant disease. We analyze too the anatomy, design, surgical technique and specific indications for gluteal reconstruction.
