omental

Or uncommonly the Omental foramen, this is a dated term.

If you eat well and exercise fairly consistently, you'll lose as much as two inches of omental fat in one month.

Gabriel pressed his hand over the omental fetus.

It usually presents with omental metastases which cause ascites.

The lesser sac (or omental bursa), represented in blue.

The expression of miR-181a may contribute to intrinsic differences between omental and subcutaneous adipose tissue.

It refers to infiltration of the omental fat by material of soft-tissue density.

Ramstedt performed a second pyloromyotomy in 1912, and did not use an omental patch on the second occasion.

In radiology, omental cake is sign indicative of an abnormally thickened greater omentum.

The omental foramen, which he first described, is still known under the alternative name of "Winslow's foramen".

He elected to cover the defect with an omental patch, realising that it was not necessary to suture the pyloric muscle.

It then turns backward and passes from left to right behind the omental bursa and drains into the portal vein.

"omental branches": descend to supply the greater omentum and anastomose with branches of the middle colic.

Serous carcinomas often have bulky peritoneal and omental metastases, and spread to the lymph nodes is frequent.

Both the mesenteric and omental depots incorporate much lymphoid tissue as lymph nodes and milky spots, respectively.

The lesser sac, also known as the omental bursa, is the cavity in the abdomen that is formed by the lesser and greater omentum.

In disseminated intraperitoneal leiomyomatosis, leiomyomata grow diffusely on the peritoneal and omental surfaces, with uterine fibroids as their source.

It is behind the stomach and the omental bursa, and in front of the crura of the diaphragm, on the level of the first lumbar vertebra.

Its upper surface is slightly convex and is moulded on to the diaphragm; its under surface presents the gastric impression and omental tuberosity.

There are two main regions of the peritoneum, connected by the epiploic foramen (also known as the omental foramen or foramen of winslow):

It is connected with the lesser sac via the omental foramen, also known as the Foramen of Winslow or Epiploic Foramen.

For the stomach, which lies anterior to the omental bursa, the rupture must be on the posterior side; if it were anteriorly located, the leak would collect in the greater sac.

The mesenteric depot forms a glue-like web that supports the intestines, and the omental depot, which originates near the stomach and spleen, and, when massive, extends into the ventral abdomen.

Examination of the exterior of the ascending colon revealed the formation of thick adhesions spanning the whole length of the colon; these adhesions were filled with fat, enlarged glands and omental tissue.

As a radical treatment for portal hypertension, surgical creation of a portacaval fistula produces an anastomosis between the hepatic portal vein and the inferior vena cava across the omental foramen (of Winslow).
