Herniation of the omentum after laparoscopy.
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.
