Short- and Long-term Abdominal Consequences of Omentectomy

This systematic review explores short- and long-term effects of omentectomy, highlighting low complication rates. Short-term complications include ileus, bowel stenosis, abscess, and sepsis (0.0%-23%). Long-term risks mainly involve donor-site hernia (up to 32%), with minimal gastrointestinal complications. However, evidence quality and follow-up duration are limited, underscoring the need for further research.
