title: Laparoscopic omental-cerebellar pedicled graft harvest.
abstract: The minimally invasive technique has altered our approach to many surgical diseases. Laparoscopic surgery is performed on a variety of abdominal organs. One such organ, the omentum, traditionally has been harvested via a laparotomy. The omental harvest now has been attempted successfully laparoscopically, although usually for reconstructive efforts. Here we describe the first case of a laparoscopic omental-cerebellar pedicled graft harvest.
