Abstract

  Background: The organ flap depends on the superior gluteal perforator artery (SGPA) is a valuable alternative plastic material of the breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Objectives: To determine the origin, size and location of distribution on the skin of the superior gluteal perforator artery branches (SGPAB) in formol mummified cadavers. Materials and methods: this was a cross-sectional descriptive study on 15 cadavers with intact buttocks marinated in formol, in Anatomy department,Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy from September 2013 to September 2014. Results: all of SGPAB originated from the superior gluteal artery (SGA). The average length and diameter of the SGPAB was: 4.34 ± 0.58 cm and 0.74 ± 0.08 mm. The average number of percutaneous branches of SGA was 1.4 ± 0.56 branches. All locations distributed on the skin of the SGPAB were located in the medial straight line connecting the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) to the greater trochanter (GT). SGPAB had a wide distribution of 7% - 43% around the straight line connecting PSIS – GT. Most of the percutaneous branches of the SGA were located on the inner upper quarter of the buttock. Conclusions: The length and diameter of the SGPA meet the ability of blood vessel sutures in plastic surgery using peduncle free flap.
