I so love my copy of _Saunders Comprehensive Veterinary Dictionary_.

Marsupialization:
"Conversion of a closed cavity, such as an abscess r cyst, into an open pouch, by incising it and suturing the edges of its wall to the edges of the wound. The urinary bladder and prostatic cysts are treated similarly."

I don't find "omentalization" though. The Omentum is " a fold in the peritonium extending from the stomach to adjacent abdominal organs" but exactly what is being done with it the book doesn't help understand, I'm afraid.
