title: Herniation of the omentum after laparoscopy.
abstract: The use of laparoscopic surgery is increasing. With this new type of surgery new complications will occur. One of these complications is herniation via the troicart incision as a result of the use of large troicarts. This problem could be solved by using the Z-incision technique or by suturing the fascia. Two cases of herniation of the omentum are described and discussed.
