Abstract
- The Omental is unique in that it is the only body tissue specially developed for the resolution of infected process; it also regain its suppleness once healing has taken place. These characteristics are not shared by the periurethral and perivesical tissues so that a properly mobilized pedicle graft is a valuable adjunct to the more difficult repairs and reconstructions of the urinary tract. Recently, author has experienced 4 cases of urinary tract reconstruction using omental pedicle graft, including 2 cases of complicated vesicovaginal fistula, a case of renal staghorn calculi and a case of multiple renal lacerations and the results were excellent.
