Clinical outcomes of breast reconstruction using omental flaps: A systematic review

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and breast reconstruction improves the patient's quality of life. Autologous breast reconstruction provides benefits of natural appearance, feel, and long-term results without implant-associated problems. However, thin patients are not always suitable for standard autologous reconstructions. In these patients, an omental flap could be a useful alternative. The aim of this review was to provide an overview of the literature regarding the clinical outcomes of omental flaps in breast reconstruction.
