Patient demographics and relevant comorbidities including chemotherapy and radiation therapy data were collected and analyzed. In addition, margin status at the time of oncologic resection was analyzed. Flap-specific data were collected for each approach. Oncologic data collected included cancer type, stage at time of APR, and rate of tumor recurrence within the flap.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003A total of 562 patients were identified who underwent pelvic reconstruction with either VRAM or omental pedicle flaps. Of these, 274 (48.8%) underwent VRAM reconstruction and 288 (51.2%) underwent omental flap reconstruction. All margins were negative at time of cancer ablation surgery. Complications data included: seroma (VRAM\u2009=\u20092 [0.36%]; omentum\u2009=\u200932 [5.69%], p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001), wound dehiscence (VRAM\u2009=\u200931 [5.52%]; omentum\u2009=\u200917 [3.02%], p\u2009=\u20090.022), abscess (VRAM\u2009=\u20094 [0.71%]; omentum\u2009=\u200927 [4.8%], p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001), cellulitis (VRAM\u2009=\u20092 [0.36%]; omentum\u2009=\u200910 [1.78%], p\u2009=\u20090.025). Statistical comparison of tumor recurrence between these two reconstructive approaches showed a significantly higher recurrence rate in omental flaps compared with VRAM flaps (p\u2009=\u20090.000127).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003The results of this study suggest a significantly higher tumor recurrence rate in omental flap pelvic reconstruction compared with VRAM flaps. This knowledge has the potential to influence surgical planning and flap selection in pelvic reconstruction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1677524","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,19]],"date-time":"2019-01-19T00:05:01Z","timestamp":1547856301000},"page":"425-429","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Comparison of Outcomes in Oncoplastic Pelvic Reconstruction with VRAM versus Omental Flaps: A Large Cohort Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Arif","family":"Chaudhry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeremie D.","family":"Oliver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mayo Clinic School of Medicine, Rochester, Minnesota"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Krishna S.","family":"Vyas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nho V.","family":"Tran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jorys","family":"Martinez-Jorge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Larson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Colorectal Surgery, Department of Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Dozois","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Colorectal Surgery, Department of Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heidi","family":"Nelson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Colorectal Surgery, Department of Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oscar J.","family":"Manrique","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,18]]},"container-title":["Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0038-1677524.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,14]],"date-time":"2019-06-14T22:35:18Z","timestamp":1560551718000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0038-1677524"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,18]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"06","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,14]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,7]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0038-1677524","relation":{},"ISSN":["0743-684X","1098-8947"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0743-684X","type":"print"},{"value":"1098-8947","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,18]]}}}
