- Sthenic or normal type

- Hyposthenic type or asthenic type
 Two orifices
 Two curvatures
 Two surfaces
 Three subdivisions
 Lesser omentum
 Greater omentum
 Gastro- splenic ligament or third omentum
 Gasto phrenic ligament
 Left or superior gastro pancreatic fold
 Hypertropic pyloric stenosis
 Truncal vagotomy
 Gastric ulcers
 Gastritis
 Right side- Lower border of Liver
 Left side- Left costal margin
 Below-Transverse colon
Clinical Importance:
In complete oesophageal obstruction, a
tube is introduced in the stomach through
the gastric triangle for feeding the patient
(Gastrostomy operation)
 Above- Lower border of left lung
 Below- Left costal margin
 Right side- Lower border of left lobe of liver
 Left side- Lateral end of the spleen
Clinical Importance:
Traube’s space may be obliterated by the
enlargement of liver, spleen or in pleural
effusion.
