summary

Omentum is a prominent part of the body's back between the intestinal membrane and the stomach, because it droops in front of the large intestine and forms a kind of plica. Omentum can be divided into anterior and posterior walls of the stomach and transverse colon, and its main function is phagocytosis, and it also has a very important preventive function. What is the effect of omentum resection? Let's talk about it

What is the effect of omental excision?

Partial omental excision has little effect on diet digestion, but it has certain effect on the body's immune system. For patients with abdominal malignant tumor and peritoneal metastasis, omental resection and lymph node dissection should be performed simultaneously with corresponding organ resection.

Omentum is a kind of peritoneum. Peritoneum moves from parietal layer to visceral layer, or from one organ to another, forming a double-layer peritoneal structure. Blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels often run between the two layers of peritoneum. The greater omentum is the peritoneum connecting the greater curvature of the stomach to the transverse colon, covering the jejunum and ileum in an apron shape.

After resection of the greater omental cyst, we should carefully explore the lesser omental cyst, hepatogastric ligament, gastrocolic ligament, mesocolic mesentery, spleen and stomach ligament to avoid missed diagnosis. After resection of huge cyst, abdominal belt should be used for a long time to prevent abdominal organ and abdominal wall sagging.
