Omentoplasty of the abscess cavity was used in 25 patients with noncomplicated and complicated amebiasis of the liver and in 25 experimental rabbits with an induced amebic abscess of the liver. The histological, biochemical and clinical observations have supported the idea that the omentum graft on the feeding pedicle could grow into the granular torus of the abscess wall and liquidate the remaining cavity including the formation of fistulas. The function and structure of the liver were found to recover within 25 days.
