ABSTRACT
The proximity of the sartorius muscle to the standard groin incision makes it an ideal muscle for a local rotational flap in cases requiring tissue coverage of Femoral artery and graft. Use of the rotational sartorius muscle flap to treat a postop groin infection was first reported by Mendez Fernandez et al. in 1980 and has since been used both prophylactically and as a salvage procedure for groin wound infection requiring debridement. Its proximity to the groin makes it a valuable option for native tissue coverage in vascular patients with complicated groin wounds with little residual morbidity. The use of the pectoralis major myocutaneous pedicle flap will be discussed here in use of soft tissue coverage of the great vessels of the neck. Due to its versatility, mobility, and inherent healing and immune properties, use of omental flaps and grafts have been reported by nearly every surgical specialty with descriptions of uses for the omentum in nearly every anatomical location.
