Anatomy Of The Stomach
1.
Anatomy of the
stomach Vishy Mahadevan Abstract The stomach is the widest part of the alimentary canal. Continuous proximally with the abdominal oesophagus and distally with the duo- denum, the stomach is ensleeved in peritoneum. The principal func- tions of the stomach are: (i) to act as a receptacle and reservoir for ingested food and to release the food into the duodenum in small and physiologically appropriate amounts; (ii) to secrete hydrochloric acid and proteolytic enzymes that initiate protein digestion and neutralize harmful bacteria in the ingested food; and (iii) to churn the ingested food and soften it with the help of gastric juice to produce a liqueïŹed mixture termed chyme. Embryologically, the stomach is derived entirely from the foregut and this is reïŹected in the stomach deriving its blood supply wholly from the coeliac axis. The past two de- cades have seen a dramatic decline in the need for surgical interven- tion in acid-peptic disease in the developed world. This has been due largely to the advent of proton-pump inhibitors and to the discovery of a medically treatable microbial cause for most cases of peptic ulcer disease. In the present day, operations for gastric neoplastic disease and bariatric surgery collectively account for most of the major gastric surgical procedures in adults. This article describes in detail the surgically relevant topographical anatomy of the stomach, including its blood supply and lymphatic drainage. Keywords Antrum; fundus; gastric blood supply; lesser sac; lymphatic drainage; pylorus; stomach bed External features The stomach lies largely in the left hypochondrial region under cover of the lower part of the rib cage. The lower and distal parts of the stomach, however, lie in the epigastric and upper umbilical regions of the abdomen. The stomach is a distensible organ. In the adult, it has an average capacity of 1.5 litres. The stomach is approximately J-shaped, although in certain individuals it may lie transversely when it is known as a steer-horn stomach. The size, shape and position of the stomach can vary considerably, depending on the posture of the individual and on the state of fullness of the stomach. The empty stomach appears flattened. It presents anterior and posterior surfaces, which are demarcated from each other by the greater and lesser curvatures (Figure 1). The lesser curvature forms the upper right border of the stomach while the greater curvature forms the lower left border. The stomach has two openings or orifices. The proximal one is termed the cardiac orifice through which the stomach communicates with the oesophagus. The distal orifice is the pyloric orifice through which the stomach communicates with the duodenum. The regions of the stomach adjacent to the cardiac and pyloric openings are known as the cardia and pylorus, respectively. The main parts of the stomach are the fundus, body and pyloric part. The various parts of the stomach (Figure 1) have significant physiological and histochemical differences and these are taken into account by the endoscopist, radiologist and surgeon in the diagnostic interpretation of gastric pathologies and their management. The fundus of the stomach is the part which projects upwards above the level of the cardiac orifice. Lying to the left of the abdominal oesophagus, it makes contact with the left dome of the diaphragm. Two-thirds of the way from the cardiac orifice along the lesser curvature of the stomach is a distinct notch, the angular notch (incisura angularis). The body of the stomach extends from the cardiac orifice to the level of the angular notch. It is the largest and most distensible part of the stomach and is the part that contains in its inner lining, the parietal cells which secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl). The pyloric part of the stomach extends from the angular notch to the gastro-duodenal junction. It comprises the pyloric antrum proximally and the pyloric canal distally. The distal end of the pyloric canal features a very distinct ring of sphincter muscle, which is situated immediately proximal to the pyloric orifice, and can be easily felt. This sphincter is greatly thickened in the condition of infantile hy- pertrophic pyloric stenosis. The position of the pyloric sphincter is indicated by the presence of a fairly constant vein, the pre- pyloric vein (of Mayo) that runs vertically on the anterior surface of the pylorus. The pyloric antrum produces the hormone gastrin, which is responsible for the hormonal phase of gastric acid secretion. Attached along the lesser curve is the lesser omentum, a double-layered peritoneal sheet that extends from the lesser curvature of the stomach to the visceral surface of the liver. At the lesser curvature the two leaves of the lesser omentum diverge; the anterior leaf covering the anterior wall of the stomach and the posterior leaf adhering to the posterior wall. At the greater curvature the two leaves meet to form the greater omentum. The greater omentum hangs down like an apron from Fundus Body Greater curvature Pyloric antrum Sulcus intermedius Pyloric canal Duodenum Pylorus Lesser curvature Cardiac region Abdominal part of oesophagus Cardiac incisura Incisura angularis Figure 1 The borders and regions of the stomach (viewed from the front) Vishy Mahadevan MBBS PhD FRCS (Ed & Eng) is the Barbersâ Company Professor of Anatomy at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, London, UK.

the greater curvature.
The lesser and greater omenta contain the blood vessels, lymphatics and nerve supply of the stomach. Topographical relations In addition to the lesser and greater omenta which are attached to the lesser and greater curvatures of the stomach, respectively, other important topographical relations of the stomach are as follows. Posterior relations: Situated immediately behind the stomach and lesser omentum is the lesser sac (also known as the omental bursa). The lesser sac is, in effect, a diverticulum or recess of the general peritoneal cavity (also known as the greater sac). The window of communication between the lesser sac and general peritoneal cavity is termed the epiploic foramen or foramen of Winslow. Behind the peritoneum that forms the posterior wall of the lesser sac are a number of structures which collectively make up the âstomach bedâ (Figure 2). These structures include the diaphragmatic crura, left dome of the diaphragm, the proximal part of the abdominal aorta with the coeliac axis originating from it, the upper part of the left kidney, the left suprarenal gland, the pancreas, the medial surface of the spleen and the upper surface of the transverse mesocolon. Anterior relations: The stomach is related anteriorly to a num- ber of structures but is separated from these structures by the greater sac. The portion of the stomach lying under cover of the left rib cage is related anteriorly to the left hemidiaphragm. Further to the left the anterior wall of the stomach is related to the medial surface of the spleen. In the epigastric region the stomach and lesser omentum are overlapped by the left lobe of the liver. Lower still the anterior wall of the stomach is related to the posterior surface of the anterior abdominal wall. Arterial supply and venous drainage of the stomach The stomach has a rich blood supply which it derives entirely from the coeliac axis (coeliac artery) reflecting its embryological derivation from the foregut. The coeliac axis typically gives rise to three branches: the left gastric artery, the common hepatic artery and the splenic artery. These are termed the primary branches of the coeliac artery, and all three contribute to the blood supply of the stomach (Figure 3). Two arterial arcades, one situated alongside the lesser curvature and the other along the greater curvature of the stomach, provide most of the blood supply to the stomach. The arcade along the lesser curvature lies between the two leaves of the lesser omentum and is formed by the anastomosis of the right and left gastric arteries. This arcade supplies the anterior and posterior walls of the stomach along- side the lesser curvature. The left gastric artery is a direct branch of the coeliac axis. Initially it runs upwards and to the left behind the lesser sac and on reaching the right side of the gastro- oesophageal junction it gives off the oesophageal arteries Right gastroepiploic nodes Right gastroepiploic artery Right gastroepiploic nodes Left gastroepiploic artery Left gastroepiploic nodes Short gastric nodes Short gastric arteries Inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery A Infrapyloric nodes Superior mesenteric artery Gastroduodenal artery Splenic artery Suprapyloric nodes Hepatic artery Right gastric artery Common hepatic artery Common hepatic nodes Coeliac nodes Coeliac artery Left gastric artery Left gastric nodes Lesser curvature nodes Right paracardiac nodes Left paracardiac nodes Figure 4 Lymphatic drainage of the stomach BASIC SCIENCE SURGERY 35:11 610 Ă 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

before running downwards
along the lesser curvature to enter the lesser omentum. The right gastric artery arises within the free edge (right edge) of the lesser omentum as a branch of the he- patic artery (a terminal branch of the common hepatic artery). It runs to the left along the lesser curvature to meet the left gastric artery. The arcade along the greater curvature lies between the two leaves of the greater omentum, and is formed by the confluence of the right and left gastro-epiploic arteries. The latter is derived from the splenic artery while the right gastro-epiploic artery is a branch of the gastroduodenal artery (Figure 3). Branches from the gastro-epiploic arterial arcade supply the anterior and posterior walls of the stomach alongside the greater curvature. The right gastroepiploic artery arises at the bifurcation of the gastro-duodenal artery (the other terminal branch of the gastro- duodenal being the superior pancreatico-duodenal artery). The gastro-duodenal artery is a branch of the common hepatic artery. The left gastroepiploic artery originates from the splenic artery in the vicinity of the splenic hilum and reaches the greater cur- vature of the stomach in the gastro-splenic ligament. Running to the right it meets and anastomoses with the right gastro-epiploic artery. The short gastric arteries are branches of the splenic artery which arise near the splenic hilum. They run in the uppermost part of the gastro-splenic ligament to reach and supply the gastric fundus. Venous drainage of the stomach is by veins which correspond to the arteries which supply the stomach. Some of these veins drain directly into the portal vein while the majority drain either into the splenic vein or into the superior mesenteric vein, and thereby into the portal vein. Lymphatic drainage of the stomach (Figure 4) The submucosa of the stomach features a rich network of anas- tomosing vessels. From this plexus lymphatic channels leave the stomach wall to drain into the extramural gastric lymph nodes which are widely distributed along the major arteries which supply the stomach. Practically all gastric lymph will eventually drain into the coeliac lymph nodes. The lymphatic vessels from the stomach generally follow the usual rule of accompanying the blood vessels of the stomach. Innervation Afferent sympathetic fibres from the stomach accompany the branches of the coeliac artery to reach the coeliac ganglia and thence to spinal segments T5e12. They account for the ill- defined referral of gastric pain to the epigastrium and lower chest. The parasympathetic fibres are branches of the anterior and posterior vagal trunks. The vagal trunks accompany the oesophagus into the abdomen and run along the lesser curvature. The parasympathetic fibres control gastric motility and gastric secretion.
