It will be difficult for me to give you exact answers to your questions, as they are quite individual to you. Your surgeon would be able to answer more specifically.
The omentum is an apron-like covering that lays over your organs in your abdomen. The operation to remove this is called an omentectomy and is asurgerythat is not unusual to have when ovarian cancer is present.
I do not know if it will be difficult to remove the omentum in your situation, or what will happen with existing or new adhesions. But, your surgeon would not suggest this unless they felt it was necessary.
Try and write your questions down so that you can fully discuss this all further with your hospital team when you see or speak to them. Or if you have a specialist nurse (CNS), do talk it through with them.
