The examination of the greater omentum was performed in 102 cadavers. Most frequently the quadrangular shape of omentum was found, less frequently--triangular and appendicular shape. The anterior duplicature of the omentum receives blood supply from the right gastro-omental artery, that often has 5 omental branches.
