Transmesocolic omentoplasty is a straightforward method to shield aortic graft replacements and avert aortoenteric fistulas. This technique is particularly useful in complex, repeat aortic surgeries where tissue access is limited.

Area of Science:

Vascular Surgery
Surgical Techniques
Graft Management

Background:

Aortoenteric fistulas are severe complications following aortic graft procedures.
Securing adequate graft coverage is crucial for preventing such complications.
Repeat aortic surgeries present unique challenges due to adhesions and tissue scarring.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the transmesocolic omentoplasty technique.
To highlight its utility in preventing aortoenteric fistulas.
To emphasize its value in repeat aortic surgeries.

Main Methods:

Transmesocolic omentoplasty involves utilizing the omentum passed through the mesocolon.
This technique aims to create a vascularized barrier over the aortic graft.

Application in cases with limited periaortic tissue mobility.

Main Results:

The technique provides effective coverage for prosthetic aortic grafts.
It serves as a preventive measure against aortoenteric fistula formation.
Demonstrated utility in challenging repeat aortic interventions.

Conclusions:

Transmesocolic omentoplasty is a simple and effective method for aortic graft coverage.
It significantly reduces the risk of aortoenteric fistulas, especially in complex cases.
This technique is a valuable option for repeat aortic procedures.
