Case description

The peritoneal cavity is divided by the transverse mesocolon. The greater omentum extends from the transverse mesocolon and from the lower pole of the stomach to line the lower peritoneal cavity. Abdominal organs, such as the pancreas, duodenum, and ascending and descending colon, are located in the anterior retroperitoneal space; the kidneys, ureters, and adrenal glands are found in the posterior retroperitoneal space. Other abdominal organs, the liver, stomach, gallbladder, spleen, jejunum, ileum, transverse colon and sigmoid colon, cecum, and appendix are found within the peritoneal cavity.
