Abstract:
A case of successful autotransplantation of the omentum is presented, and some of the possible uses of this technique are discussed. The procedure appears to be a sensible means of limb salvage in patients with Buerger's disease, an advanced state of vascular insufficiency, with a lack of run-off vessels.
