Curvatures of the stomach to its anterior portion are attached the two layers of the greater omentum, separated from each other by the gastroepiploic vessels. There are three arteries which primarily supply the greater curvature: and the gastroepiploic vessels: The lesser curvature of the stomach, extending between the cardiac and pyloric orifices, forms the right or medial border of the stomach. It descends as a continuation of the right margin of the esophagus in front of the fibers of the right crus of the diaphragm, and then, turning to the right, it crosses the first lumbar vertebra and ends at the pylorus. Nearer its
Feeding tube of pneumonia. There is moderate quality evidence suggesting that the risk of aspiration pneumonia may be reduced by inserting the feeding tube into the duodenum or the jejunum (post-pyloric feeding), when compared to inserting the feeding tube into the stomach. People with dementia may attempt to remove the PEG, which causes complications. A G-tube may instead be used for gastric drainage as a longer term solution to the condition where blockage in the proximal small intestine causes bile and acid to accumulate in the stomach, typically leading to periodic vomiting, or if the vagus nerve is damaged. Where such conditions
