Surgical Anatomy of the Stomach and the Omental Bursa

Ronald L. A. W. Bleys and Teus J. Weijs

25.1 Introduction

The role of the stomach in the digestive system is that of a food blender and a reservoir. Inside the stomach mechani­cal and chemical breakdown into a liquid mass, the chyme, takes place. Food particles have to be as small as 1–2 mm in diameter before they pass to the duodenum. The reservoir function is reflected by the fact that an empty stomach con­tains approximately 100 ml, while a full stomach may contain more than 2 l and may even extend as low as the pelvic brim. The reflux of gastric content is prevented by, among others, the lower esophageal sphincter and emptying into the duo­denum is regulated by the pyloric sphincter. The functional aspects make the stomach a highly mobile and distensible sac.

25.2 Anatomical Features

Several anatomical features accommodate for the mobility and distensibility. First, the true fixation points of the stom­ach are proximal and distal to the stomach. Proximally, it is the passage of the esophagus through the diaphragm, where it is surrounded by the right crus of the diaphragm. Distally, it is where the superior part of the duodenum becomes ret­roperitoneal in position, after its first 2.5 cm. The attach­ments of the stomach by the lesser omentum and peritoneal ligaments permit mobility and do not really fixate the stom­ach. Second, the stomach is covered by peritoneum which produces fluid, and thereby contributes to the sliding planes inside the peritoneal cavity. Third, the omental bursa (lesser sac) behind the stomach provides freedom of movement against the posterior abdominal wall.

The stomach is subdivided into four parts: cardia, fundus, corpus (body), and the pyloric part. The latter consists of the pyloric antrum, the pyloric canal, and the pylorus (Fig. 25.1). The term pylorus is reserved for the transition to the duode­num. The stomach has the shape of the letter J, and therefore, lesser and greater curvatures can be readily identified.

25.3 Structure

The wall of the stomach is formed by four layers, from inward to outwards: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and serosa. The mucosa is composed of columnar cell epithe­lium. The transition of the squamous cell epithelium of the esophagus into the columnar epithelium of the stomach at the gastro-esophageal junction can be visualized as a zig­zag line; the z-line. Along the lesser curvature the mucosa forms longitudinal folds called gastric canal or magen­strasse under the influence of muscle contractions [1]. In the empty stomach this creates a highway for liquids from esophagus to pylorus. The muscularis consists of three lay­ers of muscle fibers: an inner layer which is obliquely ori­ented, a middle layer which is circularly oriented, and an outer layer which is longitudinally oriented. The obliquely oriented muscle fibers are unique since they do not exist in the rest of the gastro-intestinal tract. Due to their orientation these contribute to the cardiac notch and flap-valve of Hill [2], which are components of the gastro-esophageal closure mechanism, and the formation of the gastric canal along the lesser curvature. The circular muscle layer is thickened at the exit of the stomach (pylorus) to form the pyloric sphincter (Fig. 25.2a,b). The pylorus controls the passing of chyme into the duodenum. The muscularis is best devel­oped in the antrum because here the propulsion of chyme to the duodenum takes place. Finally, the serosa or visceral peritoneum is a thin layer of connective tissue covered by mesothelium.

25.4 Topographical Relationships

The stomach is located high in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen which makes it difficult to access. It is entirely covered by peritoneum, double layers of which attach the stomach to surrounding structures. Along the greater cur­vature, the attachments of the stomach are: cranially to the diaphragm by the gastrophrenic ligament, left lateral to the spleen by the gastrosplenic ligament, and caudally to the colon by the gastrocolic ligament. These ligaments are continuous to each other. Along the lesser curvature, the hepatogastric ligament connects the stomach to the liver. This ligament is part of the lesser omentum which, furthermore, consists of the hepatoduodenal ligament con­taining the common bile duct, hepatic artery, and portal vein (Fig. 25.3). Anterosuperiorly, the stomach is related to the left lobe of the liver. The omental bursa is behind the stomach. In its posterior wall are the inferior vena cava, the abdominal aorta, the left adrenal gland, the upper pole of the left kidney, and the pancreas. The term stomach bed is used for all structures directly behind the stomach. These comprise the diaphragm, the spleen, the left adrenal gland and kidney, the splenic artery, the pancreas, and transverse mesocolon (Fig. 25.4).

25.5 Vascular Supply

The stomach has an abundant arterial supply. Arterial arcades are formed along the lesser and greater curvatures and many anastomoses exist in the submucosa, also with esophageal arteries. Therefore, ligating one of the supplying arteries of the stomach should not be a problem.
All gastric arteries are derived from the celiac trunk which arises from the abdominal aorta just cranial to the pancreas. The three branches of the celiac trunk have a
20325 Surgical Anatomy of the Stomach and the Omental Bursa
retroperitoneal course and finally reach the stomach through its peritoneal attachments (Fig. 25.5a,b). The left gastric artery and the common hepatic artery raise folds in the pos­terior wall of the omental bursa: the gastropancreatic fold and hepatopancreatic fold, respectively. The left gastric artery reaches the lesser omentum to supply the stomach and also gives off small ascending branches to the esoph­agus. Occasionally, there may be an anastomosis with the left inferior phrenic artery, and this anastomosis is named Belsey’s artery. Another important variation is an accessory left hepatic artery branching off from the left gastric artery (10–27%). Sometimes this branch replaces the original left hepatic artery. In its course in the lesser omentum the left gastric artery divides into anterior and posterior branches, of which the posterior branch generally forms an anastomo­sis with the right gastric artery.
The right gastric and right gastro-omental arteries are derived from the common hepatic artery. The right gastric artery is normally given off by the hepatic artery proper and courses to the lesser omentum. The right gastro-omen­tal artery is a branch from the gastroduodenal artery and reaches the gastrocolic ligament to run along the greater gastric curvature. A true external anastomosis between right and left gastro-omental arteries exists in 55–65% of the cases. The location of the true anastomosis, or otherwise the watershed area, is called Demel’s point (Fig. 25.5b) [5]. The supply area of the left gastric artery is larger than that of the right gastric artery while the opposite is found along the greater curvature: the supply area of the right gastro­omental artery is larger than that of the left gastro-omental artery (Fig. 25.5a,b).
The left gastro-omental artery comes from the splenic artery which follows a tortuous course along the superior border of the pancreas to the splenorenal ligament. From the middle third of the splenic artery a branch courses to the posterior wall of the superior portion of the body of the stomach in 62% of cases. This is the posterior gastric artery [6]. From the terminal portion of the splenic artery and its splenic branches, 3–10 short gastric arteries arise and course to the fundus and body of the stomach through the gastrosplenic and gastrophrenic ligaments (Fig. 25.5a,b).
The gastric veins follow the arteries and drain into the portal vein. The left gastric vein is connected to esophageal veins and this forms the anatomical basis for a portocaval shunt. Because of the low intrathoracic pressure there is flow from the left gastric vein into the thorax under normal conditions.

25.6 Lymphatic Drainage

Gastric lymph is collected in the mucosa and a dense sub­mucosal network of lymph vessels. It drains via a sub­peritoneal plexus into the perigastric lymphatic system. The lymphatics follow all gastric arteries and therefore the lymph nodes are located along the curvatures, near the spleen, near the pancreas, near the esophagus, and in the hepatoduodenal ligament (Fig. 25.6a,b). The coeliac nodes are the collecting nodes, and most lymph drains via these nodes into the intestinal trunk. However, due to the low pressure in the thorax, the lymph flow around the esophago­gastric junction is directed cranially. The lymph node sta­tions surrounding the stomach are classified following the system of the Japanese society for gastric cancer (Fig. 25.6 c) [7]. The number of lymph nodes in these stations, and thus the number, that can be resected is subject to large interindividual variation. For example, the number of lymph nodes in stations 1–11 (corresponding with an R2 lymph node resection) varies from 17 to 44 [8].

25.7 Innervation

Motor and secretory activities of the stomach are influenced by the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic fibers travel in the greater and lesser splanchnic nerves, the coeliac plexus, and periarterial plexuses. These fibers are partially vasomotor. Anterior and posterior vagal trunks supply para­sympathetic fibers. There is considerable variation regard­ing the level at which the vagal trunks form and branch, so
there may be 3 or 4 separate vagal nerve branches at the esophageal hiatus [9].
After entering the abdomen the anterior vagal trunk gives off a hepatic branch which courses toward the liver and gallbladder between the layers of the lesser omentum. It also provides a branch to the pylorus. The anterior vagal trunk continues as the anterior nerve of Latarjet and follows the anterior side of the lesser curvature up to the pylorus [10]. Along its route small branches supply the stomach. The nerve ends in several small branches for the antrum and the pyloric region is the so-called crow’s foot (Fig. 25.7).
After entering the abdomen the posterior vagal trunk gives off a coeliac branch which runs along the left gastric artery to the coeliac plexus and supplies more distal parts of the digestive tract up to the transverse colon. A second branch is the cardiac branch, which curves posteriorly around the esophagus to the cardia, and is also known as the criminal nerve of Grassi [11]. The posterior vagal trunk continues as the posterior nerve of Latarjet which sends many branches to the stomach and like its anterior fellow terminates as a crow’s foot for the antrum (Fig. 25.7).

25.8 Omental Bursa

The omental bursa or lesser sac is part of the peritoneal cav­ity that extends behind the stomach and the lesser omen­tum. Originally, it is part of the right half of the peritoneal cavity and is formed when through growth processes the stomach changes position (it ‘rotates’) and the dorsal mes­entery extends to the left. The main and larger rest of the

omental bursa into two parts (Fig. 25.4). On the right is the smaller part which is mainly formed by the superior recess. This recess extends superiorly between the inferior vena cava and the esophagus and lies behind the caudate lobe of the liver. The narrow passage at the left of the omental fora­men, between the caudate process of the liver and first part of the duodenum, is called the vestibule and this is also in the right part of the omental bursa.
The greater part of the omental bursa is left and inferior of the arterial folds and contains two recesses: the splenic recess and the inferior recess. The splenic recess extends to the left border of the omental bursa which is formed by the attachments of the spleen, the gastrosplenic, and splenore­nal ligaments. In the upper part of the left border the short gastric vessels protrude into the splenic recess as the short vessels folds (Fig. 25.4) [3]. The inferior recess extends inferiorly anterior to the pancreas and transverse mesocolon and ends at the line of fusion of the layers of the greater omentum. The line of fusion runs from the gastrosplenic ligament on the left to the first part of the duodenum to the right. At these locations the gastro-omental vessels enter the gastrocolic ligament and raise peritoneal folds which pro­trude into the omental bursa and are called left and right

gastro-omental folds (Fig. 25.4) [3].
peritoneal cavity is called the greater sac. The natural ori­fice which connects the greater sac and the omental bursa is the omental foramen (epiploic foramen, foramen of Winslow), a slit-like structure behind the hepatoduode­nal ligament, of approximately 3 cm height (Fig. 25.3). The other borders of the foramen are the caudate lobe of the liver (superior), inferior vena cava (posterior), and the first part of the duodenum (inferior); all with peritoneal covering.
The omental bursa itself is narrow and has anterior and posterior walls. Their peritoneal lining permits much free­dom of movement for the stomach against the posterior abdominal wall. The anterior wall is formed by the lesser omentum, the posterior wall of the stomach, and the gastro­colic ligament (Fig. 25.3). The peritoneum of the upper part of the posterior wall covers from right to left inferior vena cava, abdominal aorta, left adrenal gland, and upper pole of the left kidney. More inferiorly, it covers the pancreas and forms the anterior layer of the transverse mesocolon (Fig. 25.4). Many of the structures in the posterior wall of the omental bursa are part of the stomach bed; see the para­graph ‘Topographical relationships’.
The part of the abdominal aorta in the posterior wall gives off the coeliac trunk. The course of two of its branches, the left gastric artery and the common hepatic artery, raise prominent peritoneal folds in the posterior wall of the omental bursa, namely, the gastropancreatic fold and hepatopancreatic fold, respectively. These folds divide the

Minimally Invasive Treatment of Gastric GIST

Carlos Moreno-Sanz and Miguel A. Cuesta

26.1 Introduction

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) form 5% of all gastrointestinal tumours and 40–60% of these are located in the stomach. GIST derive from the interstitial cells of Cajal and constitute a separate entity from leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma [1]. The criteria for differentiating benign from malignant gastric GIST have been debated for several years. Gastric GIST that are smaller than 5 cm and have fewer than 5 mitoses per high-power field (hpf) are con­sidered to have low malignant potential. Tumours measur­ing 5–10 cm or having 5–10 mitoses per hpf are considered intermediate risk, and those greater than 10 cm or having more than 10 mitoses per hpf are considered high risk. After taking biopsies, location and staging have been performed by a combination of endoscopy, with detailed information about the exact location and size of the tumour, endoscopic ultrasonography, and CT scan.
The treatment of choice for gastric non-metastatic is com­plete bloc resection of the tumour and the surrounding tissue by obtaining R0 margins. Laparoscopic approach has become the choice of technique for resection of tumours up to 10 cm without compromising oncological principle. Various mini­mally invasive techniques can be used to approach GIST according to the size and location of the tumour [2], such as endoscopic resection, atypical gastric resection (wedge), standard gastric resections, and combination of techniques
involving endoscopic-guided laparoscopic resection or lapa­roscopic-guided endoscopic resection [3, 4].
Regarding the gastric location of the GIST we need to take into account the anterior and posterior walls of the stomach and the two curvatures, thereby allowing us to dif­ferentiate and classify these into three zones [5].
In zone A (lesser curvature and cardiac area) we prefer applying the transgastric laparoscopic approach with endo­scopic guidance. If there is no compromise of the gastric inlet, a wedge resection may be performed. In special cases in which the size and extension of the tumour is required, a proximal gastrectomy or a transhiatal esophagogastrectomy will be performed.
In tumours localized in zone B (greater curvature), after endoscopic localization and adequate mobilization of the greater curvature, doing a stapled transection under simultaneous endoscopic guidance is a safe and effective technique.
For tumours localized in zone C (antrum and pylorus), a stapled wedge resection is often difficult to realize due to risk of gastric outlet narrowing. When treating small tumours some authors propose using the transgastric approach with submucosal resection or even a wedge resec­tion if tumour is located along the greater curvature. For larger tumours we prefer a distal gastrectomy which pre­cludes the possibility of outlet obstruction.

26.2 Description of the Surgical Technique

In this chapter two techniques will be described to remove gastric GIST: transgastric and laparoscopic wedge resection (Videos 26.1 and 26.2).

26.2.1 Transgastric Resection

1. Patient and trocar position The patient is placed in lithotomy position, surgeon in
French position, and 5 trocars of 5/12 mm are placed as shown in Fig. 26.1.
2. Localization and palpation of the tumour First of all, localization and assessment of size and pre-
cise location of the GIST in the stomach is necessary. According to this, make a plan in order to adopt the best approach (Fig. 26.2).
3. Seromuscular stitch placement in gastric wall One 2/0 superficial stitch is placed in the gastric wall for
traction and reference for next gastrostomy (opposite the GIST) (Fig. 26.3).
4. Second stitch placement A second stitch is placed, short distance from the for-
mer, leaving it long for traction and reference (Fig. 26.4).
5. Gastrotomy After that, the stomach is opened between the two pre-
vious stitches using diathermia or preferably sealing device to take down the gastric wall (Fig. 26.5).
6. Localize the tumour in the stomach, and put a strong
stitch at the top of tumour for traction
Through gastrotomy, it’s time to localize the tumour,
evert it, and place a stitch at the top of tumour for
Fig. 26.1 Position of patient and trocar’s placement
traction. The next step is to exteriorize completely the
GIST out of the stomach, inspecting the origin of the
tumour and the possible relation with the gastric inlet
(Fig. 26.6).
7. Resection of the GIST using stapler at the basis of the
tumour
A gastric resection is performed including the whole GIST
by stapling along the basis of the tumour (Fig. 26.7).
8. Retrieval of the specimen After its resection, the specimen is placed into a bag in
order to retrieve the bag with specimen through a little
extended trocar incision, or if necessary (because of the
size of the tumour) through a new assisted incision (like
a Pfannenstiel) (Fig. 26.8).
9. Closure the gastrotomy
To finish the procedure it’s necessary to close the gastrot­omy manually by a running suture (Fig. 26.9) or using a stapler device (Fig. 26.10).

26.2.2 Transgastric Resection

1. Position of patient and placement of trocars
(Fig. 26.1).
2. Assessment and palpation of the GIST. First of all, it is mandatory to explore the abdominal cav-
ity and assess by palpation and visualization the exact
location and extension of the GIST in order to plan the
most adequate approach to resect the tumour. In this par-
ticular case, due to tumour’s localization, resection of the
middle part of the stomach was performed (Fig. 26.11).
3. Open the omental bursa The next step is to open the omental bursa along the
greater curvature and dissect the greater curvature along
the gastrocolic ligament (Fig. 26.12).
4. Dissect free the distal part of the greater curvature It’s necessary to complete the dissection of the greater
curvature to distal (Fig. 26.13).
5. Open the pars flaccida After that, the pars flaccida is open in order to mobilize
the distal stomach (Fig. 26.14).
6. Division of the stomach distal to the tumour The stomach is divided distal to the tumour by means of
a linear stapler (Fig. 26.15).
7. Proximal division of the stomach proximal to the
tumour
Then the stomach is divided proximally to the tumour by
linear staplers (Fig. 26.16).
8. Retrieval of the specimen The resected specimen is retrieved in a bag through one
of the trocar orifices, widened in order to get out of the
