• We also divided the left gastric vein, left gastroepiploic vein, right gastroepiploic vein, and right gastric vein, which resulted in a lack of drainage veins from the stomach and severe gastric vein congestion. (bvsalud.org)
  • The stomach is involved in the gastric phase of digestion, following chewing. (wikipedia.org)
  • The stomach secretes digestive enzymes and gastric acid to aid in food digestion. (wikipedia.org)
  • The stomach is surrounded by parasympathetic (stimulant) and sympathetic (inhibitor) plexuses (networks of blood vessels and nerves in the anterior gastric, posterior, superior and inferior, celiac and myenteric), which regulate both the secretory activity of the stomach and the motor (motion) activity of its muscles. (wikipedia.org)
  • The lesser curvature of the human stomach is supplied by the right gastric artery inferiorly and the left gastric artery superiorly, which also supplies the cardiac region. (wikipedia.org)
  • 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. (wikipedia.org)
  • The inner part of the lining of the stomach, the gastric mucosa, consists of an outer layer of column-shaped cells, a lamina propria, and a thin layer of smooth muscle called the muscularis mucosa. (wikipedia.org)
  • Intraoperative ligation of the splenic artery at the superior margin of the pancreas in the lesser sac is another alternative to minimize blood loss if the spleen is enlarged. (medscape.com)
  • The revolution began with the advent of drugs which effectively reduce gastric acid production, and settled in for real when the relationship between ulcer formation and the bacterium known as h. pylori was worked out. (blogspot.com)
  • BACKGROUND: Left-sided portal hypertension including gastric venous congestion may be caused by ligating the splenic vein during pancreaticoduodenectomy with portal vein resection or total pancreatectomy. (bvsalud.org)
  • We anastomosed the right gastroepiploic vein to the left renal vein, which improved the gastric vein congestion. (bvsalud.org)
  • Otherwise, the infarcted spleen can be left in situ, and the patient can be observed. (medscape.com)
  • this purposely infarcts the remaining spleen and minimizes blood loss, which otherwise can be quite profuse in these difficult dissections. (medscape.com)
  • The spleen receives 5% of the total cardiac output every minute and less than 10% of the blood in the arterial capillaries is emptied directly in the venous sinuses. (eurekaselect.com)
  • In 1590, Dr. Viard used a string to stitch a segment of the spleen that had come become exposed due to a small abdominal wound and performed the first partial splenectomy. (eurekaselect.com)
