Abstract
Patients with rectal carcinomas above the modified Dukes' stage B2 are candidates for
the adjuvant postoperative radiotherapy in order to prevent locoregional recurrences. The
postoperative radiotherapy with tumoricidal doses, however, frequently contributes to
significant incidence of radiation-associated small bowel injury(RASBI) in a dose
dependent manner.
Author preliminarily reviewed 11 experiences of the use of the greater omentum as a
transposition pedicle flap based on the left gastroepiploic artery elevating the small
bowel away from the pelvic cavity to maximize the therapeutic ratio of radiation therapy
for locoregional control of rectal carcinoma without the fear of RASBI.
Totally 11 cancer surgeries(abdominoperineal resection in 8 patients, low anterior
resection in 2 patients and posterior pelvic exenteration in 1 patient) were performed in
11 patients with rectal carcinomas, and every patient received adjuvant postoperative
radiotherapy with the mean dose of 54.0 Gy. The postoperative ileus periods were 3¡7
days(mean 4.9 days) and there was no immediate complications related to the
flap
procedures. With the exception of one patient who showed some inadequate elevation
with a segmental descent of the small bowel on the small bowel series and developed
RASBI-like clinical findings, there was no documented incidence of clinical RASBI.
The safety, effectiveness and ease of this procedufre has allowed to use sufficient
tumoricidal doses of the postoperative radiotherapy without the associated harvard of
RASBI, which led the author to recommend to use the omental transposition flap for
every patient with rectal carcinoma above the modified Dukes' stage B2.
