What is the Greater Omentum?

According to Jean-Pierre Barral, DO: The great Omentum secretes proteolytic enzymes and activates macrophages to better defend the body. It goes to the conflict zone and surrounds it either to isolate it from the rest of the body in order to avoid the spread of infection or to seal off a leak or rupture, an ulcer or a bleed.

Jean-Pierre Barral, DO pointed out the osteopathic interest is the fact that the great Omentum will remain curled up on itself and rigidifies. These fibrosis can cause vascular and neural compression and limits the mobility and motility of certain organs. That can result in discomfort or pain in the abdominal area.
