Omentectomy is a surgery to remove a part or all of the omentum. Omentum is a thin fold of fatty tissue inside the abdomen that encases the stomach, large intestine, and other abdominal organs. This fatty tissue contains lymph vessels, lymph nodes, nerves, and blood vessels. Omentum plays a vital role in fat storage and is the essential biological function of immune- regulation and tissue regeneration. Sometimes, ovarian cancer can advance to the omentum. Cancer cells that break loose from the ovary tend to implant and grow in the omentum. This condition is known as omental metastasis.
