Management
In 20 patients undergoing radical pelvic exenteration for gynecological malignancy, using an omental cylinder flap lined with a split-thickness skin graft resulted in soft, viable flaps with no pelvic infections, perineal fistulae, or hernias [PMID:8628772].
Complications
The study reported no occurrences of pelvic infections or perineal fistulae in the cohort of patients reconstructed using the omental flap technique [PMID:8628772].
Prognosis & Follow-up
The reconstructed neovaginas offered the potential for sexual function in about 80 percent of the patients [PMID:8628772].
