چکیده
M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 oncologic axillary and groin lymph node dissection. Vascularized lymph node transfer based on the omental flap has been proposed as a potential solution to lymphedema. However, literature characterizing the gastroepiploicbased omental flap and corresponding lymph nodes does not currently exist. The purpose of this study is to describe lymph node anatomy along the gastroepiploic vasculature using computed tomographic angiography (CTA).

Lymph node flap (LNF) transfer has proven to be an effective option in the treatment of lymphedema. As a result, much research is presently focused on finding an ideal donor site that results in good clinical outcomes while avoiding iatrogenic lymphedema of the donor area. The omental flap with its lymph nodes based on the right gastroepiploic vessels that has been described for the treatment o...
