Another material which may be used for this purpose is omentum-but this leaves the bowel adherent to the omentum unless an omental graft is 5-44 5I -RGICA L TREA TMEN T used (Fig. 1213), and that is less apt to succeed than an operation with anattached flap. Peritoneal grafts can be taken from the omentum, broad ligament, meso-colon, hernial sac, hydrocele sac, pelvovesical fold, or any other area whererelaxed peritoneum is to be found. The operation of grafting is done bycutting out a piece of peritoneum about one-third larger than the area to be
