[Autotransplantation of the greater omentum in patients with radiation injuries of the integumentary tissues].

The treatment of radiation damages of the integumentary tissues is a complicated problem of reconstructive plastic surgery. The condition of the tissues in the irradiated zone do not allow wide application of the traditional methods. Microsurgical autotransplantation of the greater omentum provides the possibility for adequate closure of the radiation ulcers. Operations were conducted on 9 patients with such ulcers of various localization; the cosmetic and functional result was good in 7 of them.
