What is the blood supply to the omentum?
The right and left gastroepiploic vessels provide the sole blood supply to the greater omentum.
Both are branches of the celiac trunk.

The right gastroepiploic is a branch of the gastroduodenal artery, which is a branch of the common hepatic artery, which is a branch of the celiac trunk.

The left gastroepiploic artery is the largest branch of the splenic artery, which is a branch of the celiac trunk. The right and left gastroepiploic vessels anastomose within the two layers of the anterior greater omentum along the greater curvature of the stomach.
What is the blood supply, venous and lymphatic drainage to the large bowel?
Arterial supply to the colon comes from branches of the SMA and IMA. Flow between these two systems communicates via a "marginal artery" that runs parallel to the colon for its entire length.

Venous drainage usually mirrors colonic arterial supply, with the inferior mesenteric vein draining into the splenic vein, and the superior mesenteric vein joining the splenic vein to form the hepatic portal vein that then enters the liver.

Lymphatic drainage from the entire colon and proximal two-thirds of the rectum is to the paraaortic lymph nodes that then drain into the cisterna chyli. The lymph from the remaining rectum and anus can either follow the same route, or drain to the internal iliac and superficial inguinal nodes. The pectinate line only roughly marks this transition.

What is the blood supply of the stomach
Stomach is innervated by the vagas nuerve.
blood supply is from the left and right gastric, left and right gastroepiploic and short gastric arteries.

constant NG suction results in hypokalemic metabolic alkylosis
What is the blood supply for the small bowel
Entire small bowel (duodenum, jejunum and ileum is from SMA
enzymes of the small bowel
– Gastrin (D) promotes gastric acid and pepsinogen
production
– CCK (D) promotes pancreatic enzyme secretion and
gall bladder contraction
– Secretin (D,J) causes water release, secretion of bile
salts and inhibition of gastrin
– Somatostatin (P) universal off switch
– Gastrin releasing peptide (D,J,I) universal on switch
- Motilin stimulates upper GI motility
What is the most likely cause of a small bowel obstruction?
– Adhesions 60%
– Malignancy 20%

– Miscellaneous 5%
What cancers are most likely associated with the appendix
• Associated with carcinoid and primary
appendiceal carcinomas
• Must be taken for mucinous ovarian tumors
• Appendiceal artery arises from the ileocolic
artery and MUST be ligated
• Primary appendiceal tumors often diagnosed by gyneoncs as right ovarian tumors
What veins are involved in the portal system?
• Splenic vein, SMV, IMV, gastric veins involved in the portal system
What are the boundaries of pelvic lymph node dissection?
– Lateral: genitofemoral nerve
– Medial: ureter
– Inferior: deep iliac circumflex vein
– Superior: inferior mesenteric artery
or

o Proximal: Common iliac artery
o Distal: Circumflex iliac vein
o Lateral: psoas muscle
o Medial: Ureter
o Posterior: Obturator nerve

- need 4 nodes to validate adequate lymphadenectomy
- removal of large nodes important in debulking in ovarian cancer and confers survival in endometrial cancer
- Specific complications: vessel/ureter injury, obturator nerve injury, lymphocyst/lymphedema, hemorrhage

• Superior vesical artery
• Uterine artery
• Middle rectal artery
• Internal pudendal artery
• Vaginal artery
• Inferior gluteal artery
What are the major pelvic nerves?
• Femoral nerve
Pelvic nerves
– Nerve roots L2, L3, L4
– Provides motor function to the extensor muscles
– Provides sensation to the thigh
• Sciatic nerve
– Nerve roots L4, L5, S1, S2, S3
– Largest nerve in the body
– It divides into the tibial and peroneal nerves
– Provides motor function to the distal extremity
• Obturator nerve
– Nerve roots L2, L3, L4
– Provides motor function to the adductor muscles
• Pudendal nerve
– Nerve roots S2, S3, S4
– Provides motor functions to the muscles of the pelvis and extern al anal
sphincter
– Provides sensation to the vulva and clitoris
• Genitofemoral nerve
– Nerve roots L1, L2
– Provides sensation to the thigh and vulva
What is the blood supply/nervous supply to the vulva?
