Excerpt from Wisconsin Medical Recorder, Vol. 8: January to December, 1905 Damaged omentum should be tied off and resected in all hernia operations. Here it is not a question of gangrene, if it is congested and inflamed it had better be removed. Large vessels which can easily be seen should be tied with catgut, the remainder of the omentum tied off en masse and then cut away below the ligatures.
