Abstract
The omentum continues to be a versatile reconstructive tool with increasing application, but its use for defects of the face or scalp has previously been limited to microvascular transfer. This case demonstrates the feasibility of using the omentum for facial reconstruction where microvascular techniques may not be suitable or available, thus making the omentum an even more valuable tool than we had previously appreciated.Keywords
