 | | The omentum is our flap of choice for the reconstruction of most radiation injuries of the chest wall. | | | CONCLUSION: These cases demonstrate that pedicled greater omentum transferred to the thoracic spine can be a safe and effective technique for the management of intractable thoracic dural tears and their complications. | | | Although indication for omental transfer must be carefully considered when selecting this procedure for mediastinitis patients with malignancies of the abdomen, this technique of harvesting the greater omentum was useful in the present case of a mediastinitis patient with surgical indications of early gastric cancer. |

| | While this is done, a team of neurosurgeons performs a standard craniotomy, (no surgeon could possibly do this on his own), then the free end of the omentum is placed on the brain--the brain is not penetrated--and everything is closed up, no vital organs are involved. | | | You can read about omentum transposition in the book "The Omentum: Application to Brain and Spinal Cord". | | | It is then fed under the skin of the chest, and to the side of the neck. |

| | THE OMENTUM MOMENTUM FOR SPINAL CORD INJURY |
| | Although the study’s goal was to determine the specific effect of the omentum placed directly on the injured cord, the final analysis included outcomes of several patients whose omental graft was shown not even to be physically attached to the cord or had been surgically removed before analysis. | | | The omentum is then surgically tailored to create a pedicle — a piece of connected tissue of sufficient length with intact circulation to reach the spinal cord injury site, like a square handkerchief would be cut to make a long necktie. | | | There is too much supporting research and patient experience to continue to ignore omentum’s therapeutic potential. |

| | The procedure which Goldsmith performed, involved excising scar tissue from Sternberg's injured area then removing a large portion of the omentum from its attachment at the lower edge of the stomach it, lengthening it and placing it on the injured part of the spinal cord. | | | According to Goldsmith, this increases blood flow and neurochemical delivery from the omentum to the spinal cord. | | | Perhaps more important, funds raised by the Brian Sternberg Foundation helped him subsidize an operation that has improved his health immeasurably: Two years ago Sternberg traveled to Bad Pyrmont, Germany, near Hanover, to undergo an omentum transposition, a controversial surgery pioneered by an American named Dr. Harry Goldsmith. |
