The greater curvature of the stomach forms the lower left or lateral border of the stomach. [3] Starting from the cardiac orifice it begins at the cardiac notch, forming an arch backward, upward, and to the left. A horizontal plane across from the cardiac notch encloses an area called the fundus of the stomach.
The greater curvature is supplied by the right gastroepiploic artery inferiorly and the left gastroepiploic artery superiorly. The fundus of the stomach, and also the upper portion of the greater curvature, is supplied by the short gastric arteries, which arise from the splenic artery.
The left gastroepiploic artery (or left gastro-omental artery), the largest branch of the splenic artery, runs from left to right about a finger's breadth or more from the greater curvature of the stomach, between the layers of the greater omentum, and anastomoses with the right gastroepiploic (a branch of the right gastro-duodenal artery originating from the hepatic branch of the coeliac trunk).
The short gastric arteries are 5-7 small branches of the splenic artery [1] that pass along part of the greater curvature of the stomach [2] from left to right between the layers of the gastrosplenic ligament, and are distributed to the greater curvature of the stomach. [1]
The right gastroepiploic artery (or right gastro-omental artery) is one of the two terminal branches of the gastroduodenal artery.It runs from right to left along the greater curvature of the stomach, between the layers of the greater omentum, anastomosing with the left gastroepiploic artery, a branch of the splenic artery.
The greater curvature of the stomach (not involved with the previous closure of the stomach) is then connected to the first part of the jejunum in end-to-side anastomosis. The Billroth II always follows resection of the lower part of the stomach . The surgical procedure is called a partial gastrectomy and gastrojejunostomy.
It is continuous with the fibrous capsule of the spleen, the greater omentum, and the serosal lining of the stomach. [2] It extends between the greater curvature of stomach and the hilum of the spleen. [3]
The abdominal cavity is a large body cavity in humans [1] ... First, is the greater omentum that hangs off of the transverse colon and greater curvature of the stomach.
