Omentectomy is a surgical procedure to remove part or all of the omentum. The omentum is layers of peritoneum or abdominal tissue that covers the stomach, large intestine, as well as other abdominal organs. There are two different types of surgery: supracolic omentectomy (the entire omentum is removed) and partial omentectomy (only part of the omentum is removed). The procedure is required if you have ovarian cancer that has spread into the omentum or to decrease the risk of cancer spreading from the ovaries to the stomach and other abdominal organs.
The recovery period from an omentectomy can be different depending on what other procedure you had at the same time and you will have to rest for 1 week, If you have an oophorectomy or hysterectomy during the same procedure, it may take around eight weeks until you can return to your normal activities.
Omentectomy is a safe and effective procedure with a high success rate. However, there are risks and side effects associated with the procedure, such as lymphedema (buildup of fluid caused by lymph vessel blockage), nerve damage, and pain.
