Core Tip	Inability to remove an abdominal drainage tube is a complication of abdominal surgery, and one of the main reasons for this is that the greater omentum can become incarcerated in the drainage tube. We report four cases of difficult removal of an abdominal drainage tube treated with ureteroscopic holmium laser surgery to transect the greater omentum. This may be the first report of the use of this technique to successfully remove drainage tubes. All four patients recovered well after surgery and no complications were observed during follow-up. This strategy successfully decreased the risk of a secondary operation, additional hospitalization and minimized patient discomfort.
