cinoma had omental involvement and the stage of the disease changed [42]. In a study by Ross etal. (2018) including 153 patients with endometrium tumor, microscopic tumors were found in 35% of patients who underwent omental sampling, and during patient surveillance, the mean survival was
11.4months in patients with omental tumor and was 128.7months in those without. In the same series, the mean survival was 127.7 months in patients with omental sampling and 71.3months in those without. Omental involvement is an important prognostic factor for survival [43]. In contrast, in 106 patients with serous carcinoma in the uterus, Luz et al. (2016) detected mac­roscopic involvement in 6 of 66 patients who underwent omental biopsy or omentectomy, with micrometastatic involvement in 2 of them and omental involvement in 8 (12%). In their study, they found no signicant difference in survival advantage between the group with omental biopsy or omentectomy (evaluation) and the group with­out. In addition, the authors recommended that the omentum should undergo a comprehensive intra­operative assessment [44]. Notably, there is no need for a second operation to perform omentec­tomy, indicating that the survival period remained unchanged following the surveillance of cases that underwent surgery due to prediagnosis of endome­trium cancer but had papillary serous carcinoma that was histopathologically detected [45].
In most cases of tubal ectopic pregnancy, the omentum has been reported to be able to control complications due to tubal pregnancy or play a retarding role by wrapping around the tube [46]. In the literature, cases of primary omental preg­nancy have also been reported [47].
Omental involvement in gynecological tumors occurs in 9–37.5% cases. It is acknowledged that tumor retention is important for surgical staging and planning of treatment and it is correlated with peritoneal involvement [4244, 48]. Omental involvement is considered an indicator of poor prognosis. When performing radical sur­gery, it is necessary to perform omentectomy for the purpose of removing the tumor load on the omentum. However, the contribution of omentec­tomy to survival remains controversial. In early­stage tumors, omental involvement is minimal
and omentectomy has no impact on survival, and if there is no macroscopic involvement, it is not recommended to perform omentectomy [49]. Random omental biopsies can be performed in early stages to contribute to staging.
22.5 Omental Pathologies
Omentum torsion is a very rare entity and can mimic many clinical pathologies in the abdomen. Additionally, abdominal CT is very helpful in differential diagnosis. Surgical removal of ina­tion/necrosis mass is sufcient in patients who do not recover by clinical follow-up and medical approach [50]. Omental torsion state can mimic appendicitis. Laparoscopy should be the rst option in cases that are thought to undergo explo­ration for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment. In laparoscopy as well as resection of the omental necrosis site, some surgeons recommend per­forming appendectomy [51, 52].
Moreover, 83.3% of patients with omentum infarction have more than normal weight accord­ing to their average age. Recurrent ultrasound can be conducted for diagnosis. Clinically, omentum infarction can mimic appendicitis. Because conservative treatment is sufcient in most cases, appendicitis should be excluded in differential diagnosis (Fig.22.2). In addition to partial omentectomy, incidental appendectomy may be performed in patients who underwent laparotomy/laparoscopy by consulting with the family [53].
The omentum also plays a role in limiting and controlling infections that settle in the abdomen. Depending on the damage caused by the infec­tion to the omentum, it may be necessary to per­form omentectomy. There are cases in the literature with laparotomy for abscesses caused by melioidosis (Burkholderia pseudomallei) [54]. Omentectomy may be performed depend­ing on mass image in patients with pelvic actinomycosis and the appearance of tumor implant in omental involvement [55]. Omental involvement is also common in patients with abdominal tuberculosis and can imitate an ovar­ian tumor. To avoid unnecessary radical surgical

resection, laparoscopic expressions and biopsy are diagnostic. In diagnosed cases, medical treat­ment is recommended [56].
The omentum captures, limits, and tries to maintain the contents or materials remaining in the abdominal cavity after surgeries. Before conduct­ing a radical surgical intervention due to the omen­tal mass, a good anamnesis should be obtained and the source of the omental mass should be investi­gated. In many cases wherein the cause can be determined, follow-up should be sufcient. Spilled and not removed stones from the gallbladder, per­forated during laparoscopic cholecystectomies, are wrapped by the omentum and can turn into an inammatory mass [57]. Stones that do not exhibit clinical symptoms can be traced. However, due to rarely spilled stones, internal or external stulas can also develop from abscesses surrounded by the omentum. In such cases, abscess drainage, irrita­tion, and removal of traction without removing the omentum may be sufcient.
22.6 Miscellaneous Conditions
The functions of the omentum to nd, capture, and surround foreign bodies can lead to undesir­able situations in the clinic. Primarily, the omen­tum faces complications related to hematoma,
ischemic area, incision lines, suture materials, and defects formed in the abdominal cavity after surgeries. The contribution of the omentum to the inammatory process here can occasionally result in the formation of brides. In the literature, some studies reported that the omentum prevents the formation of brides in contrast to what is gen­erally believed. The omentum aims to prevent adhesions with brinolytic factors secreted from its surface [19].
In a study by Araike etal. (2015) including 113 patients operated due to intestine obstruction due to brides, as a result of a 5-year follow-up, the bride ileus recurred in 18 patients (20.8%). In multivariate analysis, it was found that 87.9% of patients underwent omentectomy and 53.8% of those who did not undergo omentectomy had brides. It was found that 54.5% of patients who developed bride ileus underwent omentectomy and 21.3% did not undergo omentectomy. Omentectomy is an independent risk factor for bride formation and bride ileus development [58].
Excessively increasing omental and visceral adipose tissue in obese patients is a factor that adversely affects morbidity and mortality. In a meta-analysis study conducted by Lee et al. (2018), the addition of omentectomy to bariatric surgery had no positive impact other than result­ing in statistically signicant reduction in BMI,

although minimal. There was no signicant dif­ference in both groups in terms of metabolism and cytokines. Only in patients who underwent bariat­ric procedures, HDL lipoprotein was signicantly increased [18]. In a similar study by Andersson etal. (2014), adding omentectomy to Roux en-Y gastric bypass did not have a positive impact on reducing insulin resistance and cardiometabolic risks [59]. Although there are metabolically posi­tive feedbacks in similar cases wherein omentec­tomy is added to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in the literature, extensive and prospective studies are needed [60]. In the study by Tamboli etal. (2011), after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, there was a decrease in the release of inammatory genes and inammation in the skeletal muscles and this was observed more in patients undergoing omen­tectomy [61]. In patients with metabolic syn­drome who underwent partial jejunum resection in addition to omentectomy, especially intestinal system surgical procedures to control type 2 DM, better results have been obtained in terms of metabolism prole [62].
Peritoneal dialysis catheter obstruction is a common problem in the clinic (23–36%). Malposition and development of omental wrap are the most commonly reported causes. In the literature, it was noted that some of the patients with catheter dysfunction underwent partial
omentectomy and the catheters were made func­tional [6365]. On the other hand, in a series of 154 pediatric patients with peritoneal dialysis catheter, it was found that omentectomy did not contribute to catheter obstruction, mainly due to technical problems [65]. Currently, catheter types are more prominent in terms of dysfunction. Moreover, some authors recommend laparo­scopic placement of the catheter, partial omen­tectomy, and omentoplasty [66].
Idiopathic omental hemorrhage is very rare, but it can lead to life-threatening hemorrhages. Trauma, aneurysm, and vasculitis are the main causes of omental hemorrhage, and signs of hypovolemia can be dominating. In the differen­tial diagnosis of the disease that mimics the acute abdomen, abdominal CT may be useful. In addi­tion, with angiography, information about the location of bleeding and whether it is caused by tumors can be obtained or laparotomy or laparos­copy may not be required due to embolization. In laparotomy cases, hemostasis and partial omen­tum resection can be performed [67].
In inguinal hernia incarceration, the contents of the hernia are important in the approach to monitor and for follow-up. Filling the hernia defect by the omentum will reduce the risk of strangulation of bowel loops (Fig. 22.3). In a study by Houben et al. (2015) including 2184

patients with pediatric hernia, irreducible (incar­cerated) hernia was detected in 1.6% patients, whereas hernia was frequently detected in the intestines in males (62%) and in the hernia sac and ovary in females (62%); it was determined that the omentum formed the contents of the incarcerated hernia at a frequency of 12%. In half of these cases, partial omentectomy was per­formed [68].
In an obese patient who was followed by ven­tilator support due to multiple fractures of bones, abdominal lipectomy and omentectomy per­formed to lower intra-abdominal pressure and prevent lung complications. On postoperative day 1, the tidal volume signicantly increased, and the patient was removed from mechanical ventilator support on postoperative day 14 [69].
22.6.1 Omentectomy/Omentoplasty
The omentum majus can be partially and totally removed. In the clinic, infracolic omentectomy is preferred due to gynecological tumors and total omentectomy (major and lower) is performed in stomach cancer and patients who underwent HIPEC procedure. When performing lesser omentectomy and bursectomy, dissection of the part with the extension of the ligamentum venosum should be performed after binding. Otherwise, bleeding may occur from the cranial side due to its connection with the left hepatic vein [70]. Omentectomy can be performed with open, laparoscopic, or robotic surgery.
Omental aps are often used in gastrointesti­nal tract surgery and are mainly used as patches for peptic ulcer perforations (Graham technique), as omental wrap in colon anastomoses, and as a lling material for liver hydatid cysts. Omental transposition scan protect it from pelvic radiation and radiation enteritis, especially by covering the small intestines and ensuring by enveloping them. The omentum is also used in a large num­ber of procedures related to plastic surgery. Omental grafts (aps) can also be used for proce­dures such as revascularization of ischemic legs, enclosing, reconstruction, stula revision, llers, or protective shielding [71, 72].
22.7 Conclusion
The omentum is one of the rst organs affected by inammatory and pathological events in the abdomen. It is a unique organ with its mobility and physiological tasks. Its main characteristic is closely monitoring and controlling the pathologi­cal processes developing in the abdomen. Moreover, the omentum is considered the “abdominal policeman.” With the function of limiting and controlling inammatory and infec­tious pathologies, it somewhat provides the patient’s survival. While trying to perform the same function in tumors as well, the stage of the disease changes as a result of its inability to cope with the increased tumor load, and thus, it is con­sidered an indicator of poor prognosis. Due to this feature, it is one of the rst sacriced organs in radical surgeries. However, whether resection of the omentum is necessary should be ques­tioned according to each pathological process.

Open Access inLaparoscopic Surgery toPrevent Entry Complications

23.1 Introduction
To reduce complication rates in surgery, rening of techniques is a mainstay and starts as early as preoperative preparation and pre-habilitation of the patient. Concerning laparoscopic surgery, the rst complication may arise when access to the abdominal cavity is performed and pneumoperi­toneum is established. While adverse events must be reduced by any means in all kinds of surgery, this especially holds true in preventive surgery. Imagining the sequelae that could arise from a laparoscopic access injury, e.g., to a major vessel such as the pelvic vessels in a case of elective or opportunistic appendectomy, must be one of the worst nightmares for every surgeon.

More than 50% of accidental bowel and (major) vascular injuries in laparoscopy are asso­ciated with entry techniques. Major entry-related complications occur in up to 0.6% of patients, with about 70% related to the rst trocar place­ment [16].
The intestines with up to 37.6% of all injuries are the most affected organs, followed by vascu­lar injuries to major vessels such as the iliac vein/ artery, aorta, and visceral vessels [2]. Depending on the degree of injury and time of recognition, substantial morbidity and mortality can arise [7,
8]. Apart from surgeon skill and experience, risk
factors for visceral injury include pre-existing adhesion due to operations or infection. While only scarcely present in not operated individuals, umbilical adhesions have been described in up to 15% of women with previous laparoscopies and rise up to 60% after previous median laparotomy [912]. In vascular injuries, an underestimation of the proximity of vascular structures, forceful thrust, and inadequate pneumoperitoneum (among other factors) may be fatal [13]. In other than obese individuals, the distance between the umbilicus and the retroperitoneal vasculature may only measure 2cm and thus is easily reached with either trocar or Veress needle [14, 15].
To address this problem, multiple techniques have been described over time and can be divided into closed and open access techniques. Closed access can be achieved with or without previous establishment of pneumoperitoneum after punc­ture with a Veress needle. While the umbilicus is

the usual site for Veress needle insufation, the so-called Palmers point in the left upper quadrant can be used in case of expected umbilical adhe­sions [16]. Alternatively, transvaginal or intercos­tal approaches have been described [5].
Trocars for closed access can be bladeless or cutting (with or without shielded blades), blunt or conically tipped. Optical trocars can provide cer­tain visualization while penetrating the abdomi­nal wall. While several open access techniques exist, the most known, which requires a special trocar, has been published by Hasson [17].
Especially in previously operated patients, blind puncture of the abdomen (either by Veress needle or gasless introduction of the rst trocar) carries a higher risk of serious entry injuries, especially when adhesion of bowel loops cannot be safely ruled out.
A recently updated Cochrane review [18] compared 25 entry techniques including results from 57 RCTs with a total of 9865 patients. The authors found no evidence of differences in major complications and generally described the qual­ity of evidence as low or very low with too small sample sizes to identify differences. Only a reduced rate of failed entry was observed in open access techniques. Of note, the majority of stud­ies selected low risk, non-obese patients without previous abdominal surgery and thus may not reect real-life clinical data. Consequently, there is no consensus favoring one access technique over another, and the methods used vary with sur­geons’ preferences being affected by training, experience, and regional and interdisciplinary considerations [19].
Operative steps:
1. An approximately 1.5cm vertical incision is performed from the bottom to the upper edge of the umbilicus (Fig.23.1).
2. The subcutaneous fatty tissue is dissected, and the fascia exposed.
3. The fascia is then grasped vertically on both sides with Kocher clamps creating a fascial fold (Fig.23.2). This way the risk of acciden­tal injury to the peritoneum and intra­abdominal organs can be avoided.
4. The fascia is then carefully incised, thus open­ing the preperitoneal space (Fig.23.3).
5. When the preperitoneal space is reached, the Kocher clamps will be turned 90° and will grasp the fascial edges: this way the fascia unfolds, and the incision is lengthened (Fig.23.4).

23.2 A Safe Technique
We advocate a simple, reproducible technique for open access that can be employed in all types of patients. While this technique can be used at any site of the abdomen, it is preferably done at the upper edge of the umbilicus, because here the subcutaneous fat is at its thinnest and the fascia is easily reached, even in obese patients [14].

6. The parietal peritoneum now is carefully grasped and incised (Fig.23.5). The incision can be digitally enlarged and the intra- abdominal area around the incision can be palpated for potential adhesions. Now the peritoneal cavity can be seen through the incision.

7. Before the rst trocar is introduced, a fascial suture (#0 or #2-0 usually slowly absorbable such as Biosyn™) is placed (Fig.23.6). It is then fed through a tourniquet that is tightened at the entry site, thus avoiding gas loss (Figs. 23.7 and 23.8). This way there is no need for a specially designed, eventually
