Ten cases of the fixed omentum syndrome which appeared in women operated on organs of the small pelvis are discussed. The cause of adhesions of the greater omentum and the parietal peritoneum and internal organs was the operative trauma in combination with inflammatory alterations of the peritoneum. The surgical treatment consisted in the division of adhesions of the greater omentum, resection of the omentum portion being fulfilled in cases of its cicatricial alterations. Complete healing was noted in all the patients.
