An Approach To Demonstrate The Foramen Bursa Omenti Majoris And The Guarding Peritoneal Folds And The Recesses Of Omental Bursa

ABSTRACT

Background: Development of high-resolution computed tomographic imaging has substantially improved the radiologic examination of the omental bursa or lesser sac. However, dissection procedure to demonstrate the omental bursa and it two recesses in cadaver did not receive adequate attention in past decades. This was a cross-Methods: sectional, observational study on 20 cadavers. Relatively disease-free fresh adult cadavers of both sexes were selected randomly. Omental bursa was exposed through transgastric approach. Photographs taken after proper exposure. Results: In every dissection, omental bursa, superior and inferior recesses, foramen bursa omenti majoris, right and left gastropancreatic folds were clearly understood. In our study, an effort was made to establish a cadavericConclusion: dissection procedure to delineate omental bursa which may add to existing knowledge in medical education technology as well as help the surgoens particularly who are performing minimally invasive surgery (MIS)
