👉 Omentectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing the part of the intestine known as the omentum. It's often performed in cases where there are severe complications or blockages in the bowel, such as appendicitis or colon cancer. The omentum helps to cushion and support the intestines during digestion, but when it becomes inflamed or damaged, it can become a source of pain, difficulty swallowing, and even strangulation if not treated properly.
