摘要

We have read with great interest the retrospective study and systematic review of oncoplastic breast reconstruction with omental flap by Ni et al.1 The authors present a case series of 7 patients that underwent a laparoscopically harvested omental free flap (LHOFF) for breast reconstruction. The authors also performed a systematic review where they discuss 15 articles reporting the use of the omentum for breast reconstruction. In these 15 articles, only five articles reported the use of a free omental flap which was used in 37 of the 410 reported cases. We want to congratulate the authors for this successful review article and make some contributions.
