Right gastro-omental and pancreaticoduodenal veins
Tributary · detail · Foregut Midgut
The right gastro-omental (gastroepiploic) vein drains the lower greater curvature and greater omentum, joins the anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal and right (or middle) colic veins to form the gastrocolic trunk of Henle, and enters the superior mesenteric vein just below the neck of the pancreas. The inferior pancreaticoduodenal veins also drain to the superior mesenteric vein, while the posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal vein enters the portal vein directly.
