Eleven patients underwent surgical management for USF using primary repair (19.6%), 34 had omental flap\u2010based reconstruction (60.8%), and a VRAM flap was used in 11 patients (19.6%). The 90\u2010day rate of sepsis was lower with omentum flap transposition (3%) compared with VRAM flap (27%) or primary repair (18%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.041).
