Abstract:
Omentum has the characteristic that it readily develops vascular anastomosis with adjacent tissues. It is suitable for eliminating a dead space regardless of the size, shape or site in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis by use of technique of microvascular anastomoses. We report a case of chronic osteomyelitis treated by transplantation of autogenous omentum with microvascular anastomsis.
