    Abstract:
    The greater omentum torsion was revealed in 10 of 10143 patients operated upon urgently. The complex of symptoms established by the authors facilitates making the correct diagnosis. It includes a typical pain syndrome, the presence of a mobile tumor-like mass in the abdominal cavity without disturbances in intestinal passage, disagreement between the satisfactory state of the patient and duration of the disease. The operation of choice for the greater omentum torsion is resection of the torsioned lobe. The postoperative period in 9 patients was good. In one patient there was suppuration of the operation wound.
