What is a omental wrap?

An omental wrap is a surgical technique that involves using the omentum, a fold of peritoneum extending from the stomach, to encase or support an organ or tissue. This procedure is often utilized in surgeries related to hernias, tumors, or to provide additional blood supply and healing support to a specific area. By using the omentum, surgeons can enhance recovery and reduce complications by promoting better tissue healing and vascularization.
