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 site or stoma, with a narrower long tube continuing through the stomach and into the small intestine. The GJ-tube is used widely in individuals with severe gastric motility, high risk of aspiration, or an inability to feed into the stomach. It allows the stomach to be continually vented or drained while simultaneously feeding into the small intestine. GJ-tubes are typically placed by an interventional radiologist in a hospital setting. The primary complication of a GJ-tube is migration of the long portion of the tube out of the intestine and back into the stomach. A jejunostomy feeding tube (J-tube) is a
