emodynamically Stable patients with omental protrusion should be investigated thoroughly first with an abdomino-pelvic contrast enhanced CT scan, before proceeding to surgery.
Exploratory Laparotomy is not an absolute indication for this case.
Blood supply to greater omentum is provided by:
| A |
Gastric artery |
|
| B |
Gastroepiploic artery |
|
| C |
Splenic artery |
|
| D |
All of the above |

The greater omentum is derived from which of the following embryonic structures?
| A |
Dorsal mesoduodenum |
|
| B |
Dorsal mesogastrium |
|
| C |
Pericardioperitoneal canal |
|
| D |

Both the omental bursa and the greater omentum are derived from the dorsal mesogastrium, which is the mesentery of the stomach region.
Must know:
The dorsal mesoduodenum is the mesentery of the developing duodenum, which later disappears so that the duodenum and pancreas come to lie retroperitoneally.

The greater omentum is folded back on itself and is therefore made up of four layers of closely applied visceral peritoneum, which are separated by variable amounts of adipose tissue.
Lesser omentum has following contents except
| A |
Hepatic vein |
|
| B |
Hepatic artery |
|
| C |
Portal vein |
|
| D |
Bile duct |
