This open abdominal wound can be due to traumatic loss of abdominal wall and oedematous intestine and
omentum due to peritonitis.
The WSU cohort had a significantly greater proportion of cases with adnexal involvement (15% [10 of 66] versus 3% [2 of 65]; P =.03) and had more cases with
omentum sampling (50% [33 of 66] versus 26% [17 of 65]; P =.01).
Angiofibrolipoma of the greater
omentum: case report and literature review.
The placenta, still attached to the
omentum, was released with difficulty.
It originated from the
omentum with attachments to the mesentery of the small bowel and the right lobe of the liver.
But a healthy, thin
omentum (and your question confuses belly fat with the
omentum) is designed to heal, not injure, the body.
After 12 weeks, the
omentum remained fused to the kidney, which showed signs of improved function.
Explore the peritoneal cavity and lift up the greater
omentum. Identify the gastro-epiploic arteries in the greater
omentum, 2-3 cm from its junction with the greater curvature of the stomach.
Often this gets surrounded by a little known tummy organ called the
omentum, also called the abdominal policeman because of its role in moving to troubled areas and surrounding them to prevent spread of the problem.
CONCLUSIONS: Engineered bladder tissues, created with autologous cells seeded on collagen-polyglycolic acid scaffolds, and wrapped in
omentum after implantation, can be used in patients who need cystoplasty.
The PSA era has lead to a stage and grade migration of prostate cancer with 60% to 75% of newly diagnosed prostate cancer presenting with low-stage disease (T1c).[sup.16]-[sup.19] Most cases presenting with malignant ascites are associated with other metastatic sites, including bone, lymph nodes,
omentum, rectal wall, liver, adrenal and pleural effusions.[sup.20] Physicians should be aware of the rare manifestation of advanced prostate cancer with ascites and the diagnostic tools to confirm the diagnosis.
This ventral mesentery gives rise to the lesser
omentum, falciform ligament and the visceral peritoneum of the liver.
A transition point was identified in the right upper quadrant, with incarceration of
omentum and colon through a 2 cm defect in the posterolateral right hemidiaphragm, producing a Richter's hernia.
Exploratory laparotomy revealed massive pelvic-abdominal adhesions and a 6-cm mass encased by
omentum adherent to a loop of small bowel, the cecum, appendix, and right fallopian tube.
