Chapter 5 Figure 5.8 One patient underwent prophylactic mastectomy and bilateral septocutaneous gluteal artery perforator reconstruction because she tested positive for the BRCA2 gene. (Left) Preoperative view; (right) postoperative view. Of the 11 sc-GAP flaps, five were performed as immediate reconstruction (45 percent) and six were performed as delayed reconstruction (55 percent); seven were unilateral (64 percent) and four were bilateral (36 percent); six were from the right buttock (55 percent) and five were from the left buttock (45 percent). The buttock was selected as a donor site in 10 flaps because of low body mass index and insufficient abdominal adipose tissue above the rectus abdominis muscle (91 percent); one patient had undergone previous abdominal surgery (9 percent). Patient and flap characteristics are listed in Table 5.1. 73
