The right gastroepiploic vein (right gastroomental vein) is a blood vessel that drains blood from the greater curvature and left part of the body of the stomach into the superior mesenteric vein. It runs from left to right along the greater curvature of the stomach between the two layers of the greater omentum , along with the right ...
In human anatomy, the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) is a blood vessel that drains blood from the small intestine (jejunum and ileum). Behind the neck of the pancreas , the superior mesenteric vein combines with the splenic vein to form the portal vein that carries blood to the liver .
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 .

Visceral nodes of the abdominal cavity. The hepatic lymph nodes consist of the following groups: (a) hepatic, on the stem of the hepatic artery, and extending upward along the common bile duct, between the two layers of the lesser omentum, as far as the porta hepatis; the cystic gland, a member of this group, is placed near the neck of the gall-bladder;
Small intestine may loop through a perforation in the gastrosplenic ligament, ending lateral to the spleen and stomach. [1] This is known as gastrosplenic ligament entrapment, and is usually caused by abdominal trauma. [4] This is corrected with surgery. [1]
The dominion of right-sided abdominal pain in omental infarction has been attributed to right segmental infarction as a result of the tenuous blood vessels in this part of the omentum as well as its longer size and higher mobility in comparison to the left side which subjects it to torsion. Obesity is a known risk factor for omental infarction.
