Use of omental flaps is well documented in soft tissue reconstruction of the head and neck, chest wall, and abdomen. Three cases of omental transfer for soft tissue reconstruction of the lower extremities are presented. In two patients, free vascularized omental flaps were used to cover deep soft tissue defects over the lower leg and in one patient, a pedicle flap was used to cover a deep groin defect extending into the hip joint. In all patients, use of an omental graft allowed revascularization and subsequent wound healing with good cosmetic results.
