The hepatic artery is in contact for a short distance with the superior border. Below, it rests on the head and neck of the pancreas.

The stomach, liver, arid most of the intestines have been removed. The peritoneum has been preserved on the right kidney, and the fossa for the caudate lobe. In taking out the liver, the vena cava was left behind. The stomach bed is well shown.

The superior pancreatico-duodenal and the right gastro-epiploic vessels pass forwards below its inferior margin Its peritoneal relations are similar to those of the pyloric end of the stomach for about an inch. It is therefore at first invested by peritoneum on the right and left aspects, and the peritoneum passes upwards from its superior border as the right portion of the lesser omentum, fo
