Description
The gastrosplenic ligament extends between the fundus of the stomach and the hilum of the spleen, and is continuous below with the greater omentum.

The structures in the gastrosplenic ligament are the short gastric vessels, left gastroepiploic vessels, lymph vessels, and sympathetic nerves.
