Use of the omental J-flap for prevention of postoperative complications following radical abdominal hysterectomy: report of 140 cases and literature review

Gynecologic Oncology
B Patsner, T E Hackett

Abstract

Over a 7-year period from 1989 to 1996, 140 patients had an omental J-flap placed following type III radical abdominal hysterectomy. There were no complications as a result of omentopexy, and postoperatively no patient developed urinary fistula, pelvic infection or abscess, or intestinal obstruction even in the 35 patients who received whole pelvic radiation therapy postoperatively. The omental J-flap is a rapid, effective means of minimizing surgical morbidity following radical abdominal hysterectomy and merits consideration for routine placement at the conclusion of radical abdominal hysterectomy.
