We retrospectively reviewed case notes of gluteal fold flaps performed for perineal reconstruction over four years (2007-2010) in our institution. 77 perineal defects were reconstructed using unilateral or bilateral gluteal fold flaps (127 flaps in total). 50% of all patients are discharged before 11 days, and 90% were discharged within one month.
