An original procedure for the treatment of flexor fold radionecrosis, using the great omentum as a plastic material has been described. After the size and vascularization of the great omentum have been assessed by laparotomy, the radionecrotized tissues are extensively removed, the great omentum is taken out from the abdomen and the excised area filled up. The omentum is covered with split thickness skin grafts. Radionecroses of the cervical (pharyngostoma), supraclavicular, axillary and inguinal areas, have been successfully treated with this original procedure by the author. Experimentally, transplantation of the great omentum to the neck has been successful in dogs, an anastomosis being performed between the gastro-omental artery and vein and the cervical vessels.
