  • Title: The use of omentum in mesh repair of ventral hernias.
    Author: Celdrán A, García-Ureña MA, Bazire P, Marijuan JL.
    Journal: Am Surg; 1996 Jun; 62(6):443-5. PubMed ID: 8651524.
    Abstract:
    In mesh repairs of abdominal wall defects, contact of the prosthesis with the abdominal viscera must be prevented. The omentum may be used to complete tension-free repair of these defects when dissection of the peritoneum is difficult or when there is insufficient peritoneum or posterior rectus sheath to close the peritoneal cavity.
