This
is a view of the anterior surface of the stomach. The esophagus
and the esophagogastric junction are depicted. The sketch shows the lesser
and greater curvature, including the angular notch (incisura angularis),
and the pylorus. This drawing is in its early stages. Later
in the lecture, we add to this drawing the divisions of the stomach, the
greater and lesser omentum, the anterior and posterior vagus nerves and
its branches, and the structures of the portal triad. We do include a detailed description of the gastric blood supply and the anatomical and vascular relationship between stomach and spleen. This is specially important for laparoscopic procedures. Anterior
