摘要
Kiricuta (1963) was the first to use omentum for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in various body surfaces. Following his description, Dupont and Menard (1972) promoted widely the use of the greater omentum for reconstruction,of the chest and demonstrated its great ability to provide adequate tissue for reconstruction, adequate blood supply, and lack of sufficient atrophy of the soft tissue mass after several years follow-up. McLean and Buncke (1972) were the first to describe the use of free omentum transferred by microvascular anastomoses for reconstruction of a scalp defect. With this background work it seemed natural that autogenous omentum would be a useful adjunct in reconstruction for hemifacial atrophy. © 1979.
