    Area of Science:

    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Anatomy
    • Embryology

    Background:

    • The gluteal and posterior thigh region offers diverse flap options for reconstruction.
    • Understanding relevant anatomy, embryology, and anthropology is crucial for flap utilization.
    • Evolutionary changes in the gluteus maximus muscle influenced upright posture.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the vascular anatomy of the gluteal and posterior thigh region for reconstructive surgery.
    • To elucidate the embryological and phylogenetic factors influencing flap design.
    • To present specific flap techniques for sacral and trochanteric defects.

    Main Methods:

    • Anatomical dissection and study of embryological and phylogenetic development.
    • Hemodynamic analysis of femoral and gluteal arterial systems.

  • Description of surgical techniques for gluteus maximus myocutaneous and fasciae latae flaps.

    • Main Results:

    • The gluteal and posterior thigh vascular network supports a wide range of reconstructive flaps.
    • Segmentation of the gluteus maximus is best understood through phylogenetic and ontogenetic study.
    • Specific flap techniques, including the extended gluteus maximus flap and posterolateral fasciae latae flap, are detailed.

    Conclusions:

    • The gluteal and posterior thigh region provides versatile flaps for complex reconstructions.
    • Knowledge of anatomical variations, particularly the inferior gluteal artery, is vital for flap success.
    • The described flaps offer effective solutions for large sacral and trochanteric defects.
