From: Lesser omental hernia through a defect in the posterior layer of the lesser omentum
The schema of the lesser omental hernia in sagittal view. A Normal position of intra-abdominal organs and membrane anatomy. B The schema illustrating the position of intra-abdominal organs in the current patient. Note the defect in the posterior membrane of the lesser omentum (j) and dysplasia of the greater omentum (k). C The schema illustrating the hernia through the lesser omentum in the current. The transverse colon has passed through the defect (j) and herniated between the anterior and posterior layers of the lesser omentum. The herniated transverse colon is situated between the right and left gastric arteries. a, lesser omentum; b, right gastric artery; c, left gastric artery; d, stomach; e, pancreas; f, bursa omentalis; g, greater omentum; h, transverse colon; i, mesentery of transverse colon; j, hiatus of the posterior lesser omentum; k, dysplasia of the greater omentum
