Prevention and management of omental herniation after laparoscopy.
Omental herniation through laparoscopic cannula sites is an uncommon but serious complication of laparoscopy. Its frequency will probably increase as more and different types of endoscopic surgery are performed. Omental herniation occurred in two women and was corrected under local anesthesia.
