Summary:To investigate the clinical application of superior or inferior gluteal artery perforator flaps for the gluteal sores. Before operation, the perforator artery was detected by Doppler flowmeter and labeled. The perforator flap was designed, including the perforator artery, but not the gluteal maximum muscle. From Aug. 2006 to May 2009, 15 cases were treated. The flap size ranged from 6 cm x 8 cm to 7 cm x 15 cm. All the flaps survived completely without hematoma, seroma or other complication. The gluteal maximum muscle-reserved gluteal artery perforator flap is a good choice for gluteal sore with reliable blood supply and less morbidity in donor site.
