    The incision follows at an angle of 45 degrees to the lesser curvature. [9] The staple line can, but need not, be oversewn. [9] After removal of the distal portion (including the antrum and the pylorus) of the stomach, a clamp is fitted at right angles to the greater curvature. [9]

  3. Anterior gastric branches of anterior vagal trunk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_gastric_branches...

    The anterior gastric branches of anterior vagal trunk are branches of the anterior vagal trunk which supply the stomach. [1]One long branch of it runs from the lesser curvature or parallel to it in lesser omentum as far as the pyloric antrum to fan out into branches in a way like the digits of a crow's foot to supply the pyloric antrum and the anterior wall of pyloric canal.

  4. Curvatures of the stomach - Wikipedia

    The lesser curvature of the stomach forms the upper right or medial border of the stomach. [3] The lesser curvature of the stomach travels between the cardiac and pyloric orifices . It descends as a continuation of the right margin of the esophagus in front of the fibers of the right crus of the diaphragm , and then, turning to the right, it ...

  5. Gastric volvulus - Wikipedia

    The antrum rotates in opposite direction to the fundus of the stomach. This is the most common type of gastric volvulus, occurring in approximately 59% of cases, and it is usually associated with diaphragmatic defects. Strangulation and necrosis commonly occur with organoaxial gastric volvulus and have been reported in 5–28% of cases.

    Lower, accompanying the descending branches of the artery along the cardiac half of the lesser curvature of the stomach, between the two layers of the lesser omentum; Paracardial outlying members of the gastric lymph nodes, disposed in a manner comparable to a chain of beads around the neck of the stomach.

  8. Caldwell-Luc surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caldwell-Luc_surgery

    The approach is mainly from the anterior wall of the maxilla bone. It was introduced by George Caldwell (1893)and Henry Luc (1897). The maxillary sinus is entered from two separate openings, one in the canine fossa to gain access to the antrum and other in the naso antral wall for drainage. [1]

  9. Spinal disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_disease

    Because each vertebra can cause pain in different areas of the body, the pain from the disease can be sensed in the back, leg, neck area, or even the arms. When the spinal canal begins to lose its gap and gets thinner, it can cause pain in the neck, which can also cause a numb feeling in the arms and hands.
