Article Title: Laparoscopic resection of a giant omental cyst
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. © 1995 Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
