    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical application of superior or inferior gluteal artery perforator flaps for the gluteal sores. METHODS: 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. RESULTS: 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. CONCLUSIONS: 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.
