Abstract:
The use of the omentum as a source for vessel grafts is recommended when long or multiple vessel conduits are needed and when a combination of vessel grafts and soft tissue are needed. It is particularly suitable in reconstructing the superficial palmar arch but may also provide an immense graft reserve for the imaginative and careful surgeon.
