  • Title: Long term evaluation of omental transposition for chronic lymphedema.
    Author: Goldsmith HS.
    Journal: Ann Surg; 1974 Dec; 180(6):847-9. PubMed ID: 4433169.
    Abstract:
    A series of patients treated with omental transposition for chronic lymphedema of an extremity is presented. Several surgical steps in the procedure are stressed and the results and complications of the operation listed. The major drawback of the procedure is that the peritoneal cavity must be entered. Success following omental transposition can be expected in approximately one-third to one-half of patients.
