The transpyloric plane is clinically notable because it passes through several important abdominal structures. These include: Other structures in this plane include:
- the fundus of the gallbladder
- the neck of the pancreas
- the pancreatic body[1]
- the origins of the superior mesenteric artery[1] and portal vein[1]
- the left and right colic flexure [1]
- the left hilum of the kidney [1]
- the right upper pole of the kidney [1]
- the root of the transverse mesocolon
- duodenojejunal flexure [1]
- the 2nd part of the duodenum
- the upper part of conus medullaris[2]
- the spleen
