The properties of the omentum and its effect on spinal neurologic disease was investigated. Omental pedicle grafts were transferred to the laminectomized lumbar spines of nine neurologically normal dogs. Grafts were placed on either the dura or the spinal cord. Interruption of the graft's circulation was examined. To study the effect, the artery of the graft was injected with contrast and the graft-dura interface studied histologically. All injected specimens demonstrated vascular connections from the graft to the neural elements. The graft was found to decrease postoperative perineural scarring. The omentum appears to possess properties that could be applied to improve outcomes in spinal surgery.
研究了大网膜的特性及其对脊髓神经疾病的影响。将大网膜蒂移植至9只神经功能正常犬的椎板切除的腰椎处。移植物置于硬脑膜或脊髓上。检查移植物循环的中断情况。为研究其效果，向移植物的动脉注入造影剂，并对移植物与硬脑膜的界面进行组织学研究。所有注射标本均显示移植物与神经组织之间存在血管连接。发现移植物可减少术后神经周围瘢痕形成。大网膜似乎具有可用于改善脊柱手术效果的特性。
