Omentopexy

Omentopexy can be defined as a surgical procedure in which the serosa of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum), which covers the internal organs, is used to attach the internal organs to the abdominal wall. This can be performed both when there is a need to strengthen the abdominal wall, and as a preventative measure to prevent the abdominal organs from moving during pregnancy or after childbirth.

Omentopexy can be performed alone or as part of a more extensive abdominal surgery. An omentopexy uses a special instrument called an omentoscope, which allows the surgeon to insert the abdominal serosa through a small incision in the abdominal wall and attach it to the internal organs.

This procedure may be useful for people who are experiencing problems with internal organs, such as a hernia, adhesions, or pulled abdominal muscles. It can also be used to strengthen the abdominal wall after abdominal surgery or after pregnancy.

However, it should be noted that omentopexy is not a routine procedure and should only be performed by qualified surgeons with experience in performing such operations. Additionally, there are certain risks associated with this procedure, such as damage to internal organs and bleeding. Therefore, before undergoing surgery, it is necessary to carefully evaluate all possible risks and benefits of the procedure.

Omenthopexis is a surgical procedure used to treat a stomach disorder called reflux. In this condition, stomach acid flows back into the esophagus and causes irritation and inflammation.

During the omentopexy procedure, parts of the patient's stomach lining are removed, reducing its volume and preventing the backflow of acid.

One of the causes of reflux may be dilation of intestinal loops. During Omenthopek surgery, the doctor removes part of the intestinal loop to narrow it. This requires additional incisions in the abdominal wall, depending on the location of the dilatation and the thickness of the intestine.

The operation usually takes less than 2 hours. The patient remains under the supervision of surgeons and nurses for three days in the clinic. This step involves administering medications that control the sphincter muscles of the stomach and esophagus.
