1. The phrenicosplenic ligament is part of the greater omentum . 2. The lesser sac is formed during embryogenesis from an infolding of the greater omentum . 3. Focal adhesions frequently tether the greater omentum to the cephalad aspect of the transverse mesocolon. 4. In the region of the stomach, it forms the dorsal mesogastrium or greater omentum . 5. More milky spots are found on the greater omentum in the peritoneal cavity than anywhere else. 6. These can be accessed after dividing the peritoneal fold that links the greater omentum and transverse colon. 7. Similarly, focal adhesions occur between the undersurface of the greater omentum and the cephalad aspect of the transverse mesocolon. 8. The splenorenal ligament ( from the left kidney to the spleen ) is occasionally considered part of the greater omentum . 9. Adhesions here must be divided to separate the greater omentum off the transverse mesocolon, thus allowing access to the lesser sac proper. 10. Interposed between the hepatic and splenic flexures, the greater omentum adheres to the transverse colon along a further band or fold of peritoneum.
