What exactly is done in surgery for epiploic appendagitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Look: There could be a laparoscopic look to find the epiploic appendage, a normal fatty structure that can become twisted. But if the condition is known, then surgery is not necessary. The surgery may be done to look for other conditions such as appendicitis.
