@entity1 @entity190 @entity0 @entity3
BACKGROUND: A new technique of @entity0 ( @entity0 ) using laparoscopically harvested pedicled omental flap has been developed in the past 10  years. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of this technique. METHODS: Twenty-five @entity1 underwent @entity0 using laparoscopically harvested omental flap. Operative time, @entity190 , complications, recurrence, and cosmetic outcomes were prospectively analyzed. RESULTS: Between June 2010 and March 2014, 25 @entity1 were recruited in our study. The surgery was performed successfully in 24 @entity1 . All these @entity1 recovered uneventfully after the surgery. Mean operative time was 310  min, ranging from 205 to 410  min. Mean @entity190 was 70  ml, ranging from 20 to 150  ml. @entity1 were followed up for 32  months on average, ranging from 6 to 51  months. Four @entity1 complained of mild epigastric discomfort. One @entity1 had local recurrence and distant bone and liver @entity3 and died 11  months after the surgery. One @entity1 was diagnosed with @entity3 in the lung, bone, and liver without local recurrence 2  years after surgery. The cosmetic satisfaction rate was 91.7% and 95.8% by surgeon and @entity1 , respectively. CONCLUSION: @entity0 with laparoscopically harvested omental flap might be a feasible technique with a good cosmetic outcome.
