Laparoscopic resection of a giant omental cyst

K C Conlon et al. Surg Endosc. 1995 Oct.

Abstract

Omental and mesenteric cysts are uncommon, requiring surgical intervention when symptomatic. A report of a giant primary omental cyst successfully treated utilizing minimal-access surgical techniques is presented. The laparoscopic approach allowed complete, intact excision of the cyst, while decreasing operative morbidity and hospital stay.
