Aim: Treatment of sacral dermoid cysts (SDC) is a surgical challenge. Etiology and adequate operative technique of that are debated widely up to now, and recurrence rates remained high despite various surgical techniques applied. In cases of unsuccessfully operated and repeatedly recurrent SDC a fascio-cutaneous flap on the first perforating branch of the inferior gluteal artery (IGA) is a definitive procedure.
Material and method: Following preparation and dissection of sidebranches of IGA in cadavers, a repeatedly recurrent SDC was operated.
Conclusion: a flap harvested and transferred on the first superficial perforating branch(es) of the inferior gluteal artery offers a definitive and recurrence-free surgical solution for SDC.
