These ligaments suspend the spleen in its anatomical position and create passageways for neurovascular structures. The two major peritoneal folds associated with the spleen are the gastrosplenic ligament and the splenorenal (lienorenal) ligament. The gastrosplenic ligament connects the hilum of the spleen to the greater curvature of the stomach. It contains the short gastric arteries and the left gastroepiploic artery, which are branches of the splenic artery supplying the stomach. This ligament lies anterior to the hilum and is part of the greater omentum. It is especially important during splenic surgery because it must be carefully dissected to avoid damaging the short gastric vessels. The splenorenal ligament, on the other hand, extends from the hilum of the spleen to the anterior surface of the left kidney. It contains the splenic artery and vein, as well as the tail of the pancreas. This anatomical relationship is clinically significant because pancreatic tail injuries can occur during splenectomy if this ligament is not carefully managed. Additionally, the phrenicocolic ligament indirectly supports the spleen by forming a shelf on which the spleen rests, known as the sustentaculum lienis. It extends from the left colic flexure to the diaphragm and helps prevent downward displacement of the spleen. These peritoneal relations are not only important for surgical anatomy but also influence the spread of infections, malignancies, and ascitic fluid within the peritoneal cavity. Understanding these ligaments is essential during procedures like splenectomy, trauma assessment, and laparoscopic surgery. #PeritonealRelations #SpleenAnatomy #GastrosplenicLigament #SplenorenalLigament #NEETPG2025 #FMGE2025 #USMLEprep #MBBSAnatomy #SurgicalAnatomy #ClinicalAnatomy #InternalMedicine #ConceptualMedicine #LearnWithBhanuSir #DoctorsOfInstagram #MedicalEducationIndia #AbdominalAnatomy #AnatomySimplified #SplenectomyAnatomy #PancreasAndSpleen #HilumOfSpleen
