    The phreno-gastric ligament is not a true suspensory ligament, with only 60% of cadavers showing a loose adhesion between the stomach fundus and diaphragm. In 40% of cases, the stomach fundus is free, connected by a short mesentery.

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Surgical Anatomy

    Context:

    • The phreno-gastric ligament is a poorly understood anatomical structure.
    • Its role in gastric suspension and surgical procedures is debated.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the anatomical characteristics of the phreno-gastric ligament.
    • To determine the prevalence and nature of the adhesion between the gastric fundus and the diaphragm.

    Summary:

    • Cadaveric dissections revealed that a distinct phreno-gastric ligament is present in only 60% of cases.
    • This adhesion is consistently loose and easily separable, not a true fibrous ligament.
    • In 40% of specimens, the gastric fundus lacks direct adhesion and is instead connected to the diaphragm via a short mesentery.

    Impact:

    • Clarifies the anatomical variability of the gastro-diaphragmatic connection.
    • Provides crucial information for surgeons operating in the upper abdomen, particularly during procedures involving the gastric fundus or diaphragm.
