Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Prophylactic mastectomies have increased during the last 10 years. Breast reconstructions with free flaps are performed because they provide natural and long-lasting results. In bilateral mastectomy, a simultaneous bilateral superior gluteal artery perforator (SGAP) flap can provide good reconstruction with autologous tissue and low donor-site morbidity. This report describes the case of a "body-lift"-like pattern for a simultaneous bilateral SGAP flap procedure. This innovative pattern provides good aesthetic results for the abdomen and buttocks and preserves the option of using a deep inferior epigastric artery and vein perforator (DIEP) flap in case one SGAP flap fails. After 3 months, the patient was very satisfied with the results. The SGAP flap remains undeniably an alternative to the DIEP flap when the abdominal excess is insufficient for a bilateral reconstruction.
