Free omental transfer to the lower limbs

Ann Plast Surg. 1980 Jan;4(1):70-8.

Abstract

Utilization of a free omental transfer with a skin graft in two lower limbs for soft tissue and skin cover in difficult situations is reported. In 1 patient, it was used to cover open and damaged joints around the ankle, and in the other, for the reconstruction of a circumferential defect in a lower limb. The results were quite satisfactory.
