Abstract
A substantial number of patients need radiotherapy after surgery for pelvic malignancy. Approximately 15% of them will experience radiation enteritis. After omentoplasty, reduction of irradiated bowel volume may be obtained. We evaluated the pedicled omentoplasty during gynaecologic surgery as a technique to improve safe irradiation of the pelvic region.
