OBS: The Rubens free flap for breast reconstruction is another choice for autogenous tissue breast reconstruction. It uses the fatty area in the region generally described as the hip overlying or just above the iliac crest. It is based on the deep circumflex iliac artery and is indicated as a secondary choice in the presence of a previous abdominoplasty or transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap breast reconstruction. Closure of the abdominal wall musculature along the iliac crest is the most exacting portion of this operation and is a key to its ultimate success.

CONT: Aparte del abdomen, otras zonas distantes se han empleado como fuente de colgajos libres [...] De la región de la cadera se ha obtenido el colgajo basado en la arteria ilíaca circunfleja profunda, al que Hartrampf y colaboradores llamaron colgajo Rubens, en referencia a los depósitos de grasa representados en la obra Las Tres Gracias por Peter Paul Rubens.
