LIGAMENTS CONNECTING ORGANS
There are four ligaments attached to the spleen:
- gastrosplenic ligament
- splenorenal ligament
- colicosplenic ligament
- phrenocolic ligament
- hepatorenal ligament
- hepatogastric ligament
- hepatoduodenal ligament
- ligamentum arteriosum
- ligamentum venousm
- falciform ligament
- Suspensory ligament of ovary
- Broad ligament
Most sources divide it into two parts:
- hepatogastric ligament: the portion connecting to the lesser curvature of the stomach
- hepatoduodenal ligament: the portion connecting to the duodenum
In some cases, the following ligaments are considered part of the lesser omentum:
- hepatophrenic ligament: the portion connecting to the thoracic diaphragm[2]
- hepatoesophageal ligament: the portion connecting to the esophagus[3]
- hepatocolic ligament: the portion connecting to the colon
