Organs of the upper floor of the peritoneal cavity. Upper floor of the abdominal cavity. Topographic anatomy of the organs of the upper floor of the abdominal cavity

TOPOGRAPHIC ANATOMY OF THE UPPER ABDOMINAL CAVITY

The abdominal cavity is a space lined from the inside with intra-abdominal fascia.

Borders: above - the diaphragm, below - the border line, in front - the anterolateral wall, behind - the posterior wall of the abdomen.

Departments:

abdominal (peritoneal) cavity - a space limited by the parietal layer of the peritoneum;

retroperitoneal space - the space located between the parietal peritoneum and the intra-abdominal fascia, lining the posterior wall of the abdomen from the inside.

Peritoneum

The peritoneum is a serous membrane that lines the inside of the abdominal wall and covers most of its organs. Departments:

    Parietal(parietal) peritoneum lines the walls belly.

    Visceral peritoneum covers the abdominal organs.

Options for covering organs with peritoneum:

intraperitoneal - from all sides; mesoperitoneal – on three sides (one side is not

covered); extraperitoneal - on one side.

Properties of the peritoneum : humidity, smoothness, shine, elasticity, bactericidal properties, adhesiveness.

Functions of the peritoneum : fixing, protective, excretory, absorption, receptor, conduction, depository (blood).

Course of the peritoneum

From the anterior abdominal wall, the peritoneum passes to the lower concave surface of the diaphragm, then to the upper

the surface of the liver and forms two ligaments: one in the sagittal plane - the falciform ligament, the second in the frontal plane - the coronary ligament of the liver. From the upper surface of the liver, the peritoneum passes to its lower surface and, approaching the gate of the liver, meets the layer of peritoneum, which goes to the liver from the posterior abdominal wall. Both layers go to the lesser curvature of the stomach and the upper part of the duodenum, forming the lesser omentum. Covering the stomach on all sides, the leaves of the peritoneum descend down from its greater curvature and, turning around, return and approach in front of the transverse colon to the body of the pancreas, forming the greater omentum. In the area of ​​the body of the pancreas, one leaf rises upward, forming the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. The second leaf goes to the transverse colon, covers it on all sides, returns back, forming the mesentery of the intestine. Then the leaf descends, covers the small intestine on all sides, forms its mesentery and the mesentery of the sigmoid colon and descends into the pelvic cavity.

Floors of the abdominal cavity

The peritoneal cavity is divided into two floors by the transverse colon and its mesentery:

Top floor located above the transverse colon intestine and its mesenteries. Contents: liver, spleen, stomach, partially duodenum; right and left hepatic, subhepatic, pregastric and omental bursae.

Ground floor located below the transverse colon intestine and its mesenteries. Contents: loops of jejunum and ileum; cecum and vermiform appendix;

colon; lateral canals and mesenteric sinuses. The root of the mesentery of the transverse colon goes from right to left from the right kidney, slightly below its middle, to the middle of the left. On its way it crosses: the middle of the descending part of the duodenum; head of the pancreas

of the gland and runs along the upper edge of the gland body.

Upper abdominal bursae

Right hepatic bursa located between the diaphragm and the right lobe of the liver and limited behind the right coronary

ligament of the liver, on the left – the falciform ligament, and on the right and below it opens into the subhepatic bursa and the right lateral canal.

Left hepatic bursa lies between the diaphragm and the left lobe of the liver and is bounded posteriorly by the left coronary ligament of the liver, on the right by the falciform ligament, on the left by the left triangular ligament of the liver, and in front communicates with the pregastric bursa.

Pregastric bursa located between the stomach and the left lobe of the liver and is limited in front by the lower surface of the left lobe of the liver, behind by the lesser omentum and the anterior wall of the stomach, above by the porta hepatis and communicates with the subhepatic bursa and the lower floor of the abdominal cavity through the preepiploic fissure.

Subhepatic bursa it is limited in front and above by the lower surface of the right lobe of the liver, below - by the transverse colon and its mesentery, on the left - by the porta hepatis and on the right it opens into the right lateral canal.

Omental bag forms a closed pocket behind stomach and consists of the vestibule and the gastro-pancreatic sac.

Vestibule of the omental bursa limited at the top of the tail-

that lobe of the liver, in front - the lesser omentum, below - the duodenum, behind - the parietal part of the peritoneum lying on the aorta and the inferior vena cava.

Stuffing box hole bounded in front by the hepatoduodenal ligament, which contains the hepatic artery, common bile duct and portal vein, below by the duodenal-renal ligament, behind by the hepatorenal ligament, above by the caudate lobe of the liver.

Gastrointestinal- pancreas pouch limited front rear

the lower surface of the lesser omentum, the posterior surface of the stomach and the posterior surface of the gastrocolic ligament, behind - the parietal peritoneum lining the pancreas, aorta and inferior vena cava, above - the caudate lobe of the liver, below - the mesentery of the transverse colon, on the left - the gland - splenic and renal-splenic ligaments.

Topographic anatomy of the stomach Holotopia: left hypochondrium, epigastric region proper -

Skeletotopia:

cardiac foramen – to the left of Th XI (behind the cartilage of the VII rib);

bottom – Th X (V rib along the left midclavicular line); pylorus – L1 (VIII right rib in the midline).

Syntopy: at the top – the diaphragm and the left lobe of the liver, at the back

    on the left - the pancreas, left kidney, adrenal gland and spleen, in front - the abdominal wall, below - the transverse colon and its mesentery.

Gastric ligaments:

Hepatic- gastric ligament between the porta hepatis and lesser curvature of the stomach; contains the left and right gastric arteries, veins, branches of the vagus trunks, lymphatic vessels and nodes.

Diaphragmatically- esophageal ligament between the diaphragm

esophagus and cardiac part of the stomach; contains a branch of the left gastric artery.

Gastrointestinal- diaphragmatic ligament is formed as a result transition of the parietal peritoneum from the diaphragm to the anterior wall of the fundus and partially the cardiac part of the stomach.

Gastrointestinal- splenic ligament between the spleen and greater curvature of the stomach; contains short arteries and veins of the stomach.

Gastrointestinal- colic ligament between greater curvature stomach and transverse colon; contains the right and left gastroepiploic arteries.

Gastrointestinal- pancreatic ligament is formed during the transition

de peritoneum from the upper edge of the pancreas to the posterior wall of the body, cardia and fundus of the stomach; contains the left gastric artery.

Blood supply to the stomach provided by the celiac axis system.

Left gastric artery is divided into ascending esophageal and descending branches, which, passing along the lesser curvature of the stomach from left to right, give off anterior and posterior branches.

Right gastric artery starts from own hepatic artery. As part of the hepatoduodenal ligament, the artery reaches the pyloric

The lower part of the stomach and between the leaves of the lesser omentum along the lesser curvature is directed to the left towards the left gastric artery, forming the arterial arch of the lesser curvature of the stomach.

Left gastro- omental artery is a branch splenic artery and is located between the leaves of the gastrosplenic and gastrocolic ligaments along the greater curvature of the stomach.

Right gastrointestinal- omental artery starts from gastroduodenal artery and goes from right to left along the greater curvature of the stomach towards the left gastroepiploic artery, forming a second arterial arch along the greater curvature of the stomach.

Short gastric arteries in quantity 2-7 branches depart from the splenic artery and, passing in the gastrosplenic ligament, reach the bottom along the greater curvature

The veins of the stomach accompany the arteries of the same name and flow into the portal vein or one of its roots.

Lymphatic drainage

The efferent lymphatic vessels of the stomach empty into the first-order lymph nodes located in the lesser omentum, located along the greater curvature, at the hilum of the spleen, along the tail and body of the pancreas, into the subpyloric and superior mesenteric lymph nodes. The drainage vessels from all of the listed first-order lymph nodes are directed to the second-order lymph nodes, which are located near the celiac trunk. From them, lymph flows into the lumbar lymph nodes.

Innervation of the stomach provided by the sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the autonomic nervous system. The main sympathetic nerve fibers are directed to the stomach from the celiac plexus, enter and spread in the organ along extra- and intraorgan vessels. Parasympathetic nerve fibers into the stomach come from the right and left vagus nerves, which form the anterior and posterior vagus trunks below the diaphragm.

Topographic anatomy of the duodenum Holotopia: in the epigastric and umbilical regions.

The duodenum has four sections: superior, descending, horizontal and ascending.

Top part ( bulb ) duodenum located between the pylorus of the stomach and the superior flexure of the duodenum.

Relation to the peritoneum: covered intraperitoneally in the initial part, mesoperitoneally in the middle part.

Skeletotopia– L1.

Syntopy: above the gallbladder, below is the head of the pancreas, in front is the antrum of the stomach.

Descending part the duodenum forms more or less pronounced bend to the right and goes from the upper to the lower bends. The common bile duct and the pancreatic duct on the major duodenal papilla open into this part. A little higher than it there may be a non-permanent small duodenal papilla, on which the accessory duct of the pancreas opens.

Relation to the peritoneum:

Skeletotopia– L1-L3.

Syntopy: on the left is the head of the pancreas, behind and on the right is the right kidney, right renal vein, inferior vena cava and ureter, in front is the mesentery of the transverse colon and loops of the small intestine.

Relation to the peritoneum: located mesoperitoneally.

Skeletotopia– L3-L2.

Syntopy: above the lower surface of the body of the pancreas, behind the inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta, in front and below the loops of the small intestine.

Duodenal ligaments

Hepatic- duodenal ligament between the gates liver and the initial part of the duodenum and contains its own hepatic artery, located in the ligament on the left, the common bile duct located on the right, and between them and behind – the portal vein.

Duodenum- renal ligament in the form of a fold of the belly

The splint is stretched between the outer edge of the descending part of the intestine and the right kidney.

Blood supply to the duodenum provide

It comes from the system of the celiac trunk and the superior mesenteric artery.

Posterior and anterior superior pancreas- twelve-

duodenal arteries arise from the gastroduodenal arteries.

Rear and anterior inferior pancreas-

duodenal arteries arise from the superior mesenteric arteries, go towards the two upper ones and connect with them.

The veins of the duodenum follow the course of the arteries of the same name and drain blood into the portal vein system.

Lymphatic drainage

The draining lymphatic vessels empty into the first-order lymph nodes, which are the superior and inferior pancreaticoduodenal nodes.

Innervation duodenum is carried out from the celiac, superior mesenteric, hepatic and pancreatic nerve plexuses, as well as branches of both vagus nerves.

Intestinal suture

Intestinal suture is a collective concept that unites all types of sutures that are placed on hollow organs (food, stomach, small and large intestines).

Primary requirements, presented to the intestinal suture:

    Tightness is achieved by contact of the serous membranes of the stitched surfaces.

    Hemostatic is achieved by capturing the submucosal base of a hollow organ into the suture (the suture should provide hemostasis, but without significant disruption of the blood supply to the organ wall along the suture line).

    Adaptability the seam must be made taking into account case structure of the walls of the digestive tract for optimal comparison with each other of the same membranes of the intestinal tube.

    Strength is achieved by capturing the submucosal layer into the suture, where a large number of elastic fibers are located.

    Asepsis(purity, non-infection) – this requirement is met if the mucous membrane of the organ is not captured in the suture (using “clean” single-row sutures or immersing through (infected) sutures with a “clean” seromuscular suture).

    The wall of the hollow organs of the abdominal cavity has four main layers: mucous membrane; submucosal layer; muscle layer; serous layer.

The serous membrane has pronounced plastic properties (the surfaces of the serous membrane brought into contact with the help of sutures are firmly glued together after 12-14 hours, and after 24-48 hours the connected surfaces of the serous layer firmly grow together). Thus, the application of sutures that bring the serous membrane closer together ensures the tightness of the intestinal suture. The frequency of such seams should be at least 4 stitches per 1 cm of the length of the stitched area. The muscular layer gives elasticity to the suture line and therefore its grasping is an indispensable attribute of almost any type of intestinal suture. The submucosal layer provides the mechanical strength of the intestinal suture, as well as good vascularization of the suture area. Therefore, the connection of the edges of the intestine is always carried out with the capture of the submucosa. The mucous membrane does not have mechanical strength. The connection of the edges of the mucous membrane ensures good adaptation of the wound edges and protects the suture line from the penetration of infection from the lumen of the organ.

Classification of intestinal sutures

    Depending on the application method

manual;

mechanical applied with special devices;

combined.

    Depending on , what layers of the gripping wall - fit into the seam

gray- serous; serous- muscular;

slimy- submucosal; seriously- muscularly- submucosal;

serous- muscularly- submucosal- mucous membranes(end-to-end).

Through seams are infected (“dirty”).

Sutures that do not pass through the mucous membrane are called non-infected (“clean”).

    Depending on the row of intestinal sutures

single row seams(Bira-Pirogova, Mateshuka) – a thread passes through the edges of the serous, muscular membranes and submucosa (without capturing the mucous membrane), which ensures good adaptation of the edges and reliable immersion into the lumen of the intestinal mucosa without additional trauma to it;

double row seams(Alberta) – used as the first row is a through suture, on top of which (in the second row) a seromuscular suture is applied;

three-row seams used as first a row of a through suture, over which serous-muscular sutures are applied in the second and third rows (usually used for application to the large intestine).

    Depending on the characteristics of the sutures through the wall of the wound edge

edge seams; screw-in seams;

everting sutures; combined screwing- eversible seams.

    By application method

nodal; continuous.

STOMACH OPERATIONS

Surgical interventions performed on the stomach are divided into palliative and radical. Palliative operations include: suturing a perforated gastric ulcer, gastrostomy and gastroenteroanastomosis. Radical operations on the stomach include removal of part (resection) or the entire stomach (gastrectomy).

Palliative operations on the stomach Gastrostomy application of artificial gastric fistula

Indications : injuries, fistulas, burns and scar contractions esophagus, inoperable cancer of the pharynx, esophagus, cardia of the stomach.

Classification :

tubular fistulas to create and operate a rubber tube is used (Witzel and Strain-Senna-Kader methods); are temporary and, as a rule, close on their own after the tube is removed;

labiform fistulas artificial entrance is formed from stomach walls (Topver method); are permanent, since they require surgery to close them.

Gastrostomy according to Witzel

transrectal left-sided layer-by-layer laparotomy 10-12 cm long from the costal arch down;

removal of the anterior wall of the stomach into the wound, onto which a rubber tube is placed between the lesser and greater curvatures along the long axis, so that its end is located in the area of ​​the pyloric region;

application of 6-8 interrupted seromuscular sutures on both sides of the tube;

immersing the tube into the gray-serous canal formed by the anterior wall of the stomach by tying sutures;

placing a purse-string suture in the area of ​​the pylorus, opening the stomach wall inside the suture, inserting the end of the tube into the stomach cavity;

tightening the purse-string suture and placing 2-3 seromuscular sutures over it;

removing the other end of the tube through a separate incision along the outer edge of the left rectus muscle;

fixation of the stomach wall (gastropexy) along the formed edge to the parietal peritoneum and to the posterior wall of the rectus sheath with several seromuscular sutures.

Gastrostomy according to Stamm- Senna- Kadera

transrectal access; removal of the anterior wall of the stomach into the wound and application

closer to the cardia of three purse-string sutures (in children there are two) at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from each other;

opening the stomach cavity in the center of the internal purse-string suture and inserting a rubber tube;

sequential tightening of purse-string sutures, starting from the inner;

removal of the tube through an additional soft tissue incision;

gastropexy.

When creating tubular fistulas, it is necessary to carefully fix the anterior wall of the stomach to the parietal peritoneum. This stage of the operation allows you to isolate the abdominal cavity from the external environment and prevent serious complications.

Lip gastrostomy according to Topver

quick access; removal of the anterior wall of the stomach into the surgical wound

in the form of a cone and placing 3 purse string sutures on it at a distance of 1-2 cm from each other, without tightening them;

dissection of the stomach wall at the top of the cone and insertion of a thick tube inside;

alternately tightening the purse-string sutures, starting from the outer one (a corrugated cylinder is formed around the tube from the wall of the stomach, lined with the mucous membrane);

suturing the stomach wall at the level of the lower purse-string suture to the parietal peritoneum, at the level of the second suture - to

the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle, at the third level - to the skin;

Upon completion of the operation, the tube is removed and inserted only during feeding.

Gastroenterostomy(the junction between the stomach and the small intestine) is performed when the patency of the pyloric part of the stomach is impaired (inoperable tumors, cicatricial stenosis, etc.) in order to create an additional path for the drainage of gastric contents into the jejunum. Depending on the position of the intestinal loop in relation to the stomach and transverse colon, the following types of gastroenteroanastomosis are distinguished:

    anterior anterior colonic gastroenteroanastomosis;

    posterior anterior colonic gastroenteroanastomosis;

    anterior retrocolic gastroenteroanastomosis;

    posterior retrocolic gastrojejunostomy. The first and fourth variants of the operation are most often used.

When applying the anterior anterior rim anastomosis, 30-45 cm are removed from the flexura duodenojejunalis (long-term anastomosis)

loop) and additionally, in order to prevent the development of a “vicious circle,” an anastomosis is formed between the afferent and efferent loops of the jejunum according to the “side to side” type. When a posterior retrocolic anastomosis is applied, 7-10 cm are removed from the flexura duodenojejunalis (short loop anastomosis). For the correct functioning of anastomoses, they are applied isoperistaltically (the afferent loop should be located closer to the cardiac part of the stomach, and the efferent loop should be closer to the antrum).

Severe complication after surgery to apply a gastrointestinal anastomosis - “ vicious circle"- occurs, most often, with anterior anastomosis with a relatively long loop. The contents from the stomach enter in the antiperistaltic direction into the adductor knee of the jejunum (due to the predominance of the motor force of the stomach) and then back to the stomach. Reasons This formidable complication is: incorrect suturing of the intestinal loop in relation to the axis of the stomach (in the antiperistaltic direction) and the formation of the so-called “spur”.

To avoid the development of a vicious circle due to the formation of a “spur,” the adducting end of the jejunum is strengthened to the stomach with additional seromuscular sutures 1.5-2 cm above the anastomosis. This prevents the intestine from bending and forming a “spur”.

Suturing of a perforated ulcer of the stomach and duodenum

With a perforated gastric ulcer, two types of urgent surgical interventions are possible: suturing the perforated ulcer or resection of the stomach along with the ulcer.

Indications for suturing a perforated ulcer :

sick children and young people; in persons with a short history of ulcers;

in elderly people with concomitant pathologies (cardiovascular failure, diabetes mellitus, etc.);

if more than 6 hours have passed since the perforation; with insufficient experience of the surgeon.

When suturing a perforation hole, it is necessary

adhere to the following rules:

    a defect in the wall of the stomach or duodenum is usually sutured with two rows of Lambert seromuscular sutures;

    the suture line should be directed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the organ (to avoid stenosis of the lumen of the stomach or duodenum);

Radical gastric surgery

Radical operations include gastric resection and gastrectomy. The main indications for performing these interventions are: complications of gastric and duodenal ulcers, benign and malignant tumors of the stomach.

Classification :

Depending on the location of the part of the organ being removed:

    proximal resections(the cardiac part and part of the body of the stomach are removed);

    distal resections(the antrum is removed and part of the body of the stomach).

Depending on the volume of the stomach part removed:

    economical - resection of 1/3-1/2 of the stomach;

    extensive – resection of 2/3 of the stomach;

    subtotal – resection of 4/5 of the stomach.

Depending on the shape of the part of the stomach being removed:

    wedge-shaped;

    stepped;

    circular.

Stages of gastric resection

    Mobilization(skeletonization) the part being removed-

Ludka intersection of the gastric vessels along the small and large curvature between the ligatures throughout the resection area. Depending on the nature of the pathology (ulcer or cancer), the volume of the removed part of the stomach is determined.

    Resection the part planned for resection is removed stomach.

    Restoring the continuity of the digestive tube( gastroduodenoanastomosis or gastroenteroanastomosis ).

In this regard, there are two main types of opera-

The operation according to the Billroth-1 method is the creation of an “end to end” anastomosis between the stump of the stomach and the stump of the duodenum.

Operation according to the Billroth-2 method - formation of a side-to-side anastomosis between the gastric stump and the jejunal loop, closure of the duodenal stump ( in class-

not applicable).

The operation using the Billroth-1 method has an important advantage compared to the Billroth-2 method: it is physiological, because The natural passage of food from the stomach to the duodenum is not disrupted, i.e. the latter is not excluded from digestion.

However, the Billroth-1 operation can be completed only with “small” gastric resections: 1/3 or antrum resection. In all other cases, due to anatomical features (due to

peritoneal location of most of the duodenum and fixation of the gastric stump to the esophagus), it is very difficult to form a gastroduodenal anastomosis (there is a high probability of sutures coming apart due to tension).

Currently, for resection of at least 2/3 of the stomach, the Billroth-2 operation, modified by Hoffmeister-Finsterer, is used. The essence of this modification is as follows:

the stump of the stomach is connected to the jejunum using an end-to-side anastomosis;

the width of the anastomosis is 1/3 of the lumen of the gastric stump;

the anastomosis is fixed in the “window” of the mesentery of the transverse colon;

The afferent loop of the jejunum is sutured with two or three interrupted sutures to the stump of the stomach to prevent the reflux of food masses into it.

The most important disadvantage of all modifications of the Billroth-2 operation is the exclusion of the duodenum from digestion.

5-20% of patients who have undergone gastrectomy develop diseases of the “operated stomach”: dumping syndrome, afferent loop syndrome (reflux of food masses into the afferent loop of the small intestine), peptic ulcers, cancer of the gastric stump, etc. Often such patients have to be operated on again - to perform reconstructive surgery, which has two goals: removal of the pathological focus (ulcer, tumor) and inclusion of the duodenum in digestion.

For advanced gastric cancer, perform gastrek- Tomia– removal of the entire stomach. It is usually removed together with the greater and lesser omentum, spleen, tail of the pancreas and regional lymph nodes. After removal of the entire stomach, the continuity of the digestive canal is restored by gastric plastic surgery. Plastic surgery of this organ is performed using a loop of the jejunum, a segment of the transverse colon, or other parts of the colon. The small or large intestinal insert is connected to the esophagus and duodenum, thus restoring the natural passage of food.

Vagotomy– dissection of the vagus nerves.

Indications : complicated forms of duodenal ulcer and pyloric stomach, accompanied by penetration and perforation.

Classification

  1. Truncal vagotomy intersection of the trunks of the vagus nerves before the origin of the hepatic and splanchnic nerves. Leads to parasympathetic denervation of the liver, gallbladder, duodenum, small intestine and pancreas, as well as gastrostasis (performed in combination with pyloroplasty or other drainage operations)

supradiaphragmatic; subphrenic.

    Selective vagotomy lies in the intersection trunks of the vagus nerves going to the entire stomach, after separating the branches of the hepatic and celiac nerves.

    Selective proximal vagotomy cross-

There are branches of the vagus nerves that go only to the body and fundus of the stomach. The branches of the vagus nerves innervating the antrum of the stomach and pylorus (Laterger branch) do not cross. The Laterger branch is considered purely motor, which regulates the motor activity of the forearm.

ric sphincter of the stomach.

Drainage operations on the stomach

Indications: ulcerative pyloric stenosis, duodenal bulbs and subbulbous section.

    Pyloroplasty surgery to expand the pyloric opening of the stomach while maintaining or restoring the pyloric closing function.

Heinecke's method Mikulich is to

longitudinal dissection of the pyloric part of the stomach and the initial part of the duodenum, 4 cm long, followed by cross-stitching of the resulting wound.

Finney's method dissect the antrum stomach and the initial part of the duodenum with a continuous arcuate incision and

sutures are placed on the wound according to the principle of upper gastroduodenoanastomosis “side to side”.

    Gastroduodenostomy

Jaboley's method applies if available obstacles in the pyloroantral zone; A side-to-side gastroduodenoanastomosis is performed, bypassing the site of the obstruction.

    Gastrojejunostomy application of classic gastroenteroanastomosis to “off”.

Features of the stomach in newborns and children

In newborns, the stomach is round in shape, its pyloric, cardiac sections and fundus are poorly expressed. The growth and formation of the stomach sections is uneven. The pyloric part begins to stand out only by 2-3 months of a child’s life and develops by 4-6 months. The area of ​​the fundus of the stomach is clearly defined only by 10-11 months. The muscular ring of the cardiac section is almost absent, which is associated with a weak closure of the entrance to the stomach and the possibility of backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus (regurgitation). The cardiac part of the stomach is finally formed by the age of 7-8 years.

The mucous membrane of the stomach in newborns is thin, the folds are not pronounced. The submucosal layer is rich in blood vessels and has little connective tissue. The muscle layer is poorly developed in the first months of life. The arteries and veins of the stomach in young children differ in that the size of their main trunks and branches of the first and second orders is almost the same.

Developmental defects

Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis expressed-

severe hypertrophy of the muscular layer of the pylorus with narrowing or complete closure of the lumen by folds of the mucous membrane. The serous membrane and part of the circular muscle fibers of the pylorus along its entire length are dissected in the longitudinal direction, the mucous membrane of the pylorus is bluntly released from the deep muscle fibers until it bulges completely through the incision, the wound is sutured in layers.

Constrictions(strictures) body of the stomach authority accepts hourglass shape.

Complete absence of stomach. Duplication of the stomach.

Features of the duodenum in newborns- money and children

The duodenum in newborns is often ring-shaped and less often U-shaped. In children of the first years of life, the upper and lower bends of the duodenum are almost completely absent.

The upper horizontal part of the intestine in newborns is higher than the usual level, and only by the age of 7-9 years does it descend to the body of the first lumbar vertebra. The ligaments between the duodenum and neighboring organs in young children are very delicate, and the almost complete absence of fatty tissue in the retroperitoneal space creates the possibility of significant mobility of this section of the intestine and the formation of additional kinks.

Malformations of the duodenum

Atresia complete absence of lumen (characterized by strong expansion and thinning of the walls of those parts of the intestine that are located above the atresia).

Stenosis due to localized hypertrophy of the wall, the presence of a valve, membrane in the intestinal lumen, compression of the intestine by embryonic cords, annular pancreas, superior mesenteric artery, and high-lying cecum.

In case of atresia and stenosis of the jejunum and ileum, resection of the atretic or narrowed section of the intestine is performed along with a stretched, functionally defective area for 20-25 cm. In the presence of an irremovable obstacle above the confluence of the common bile and pancreatic ducts, a posterior gastroenteroanastomosis is performed. In case of obstruction in the distal intestine, duodenojejunostomy is used.

Diverticula.

CHAPTER 1

SURGICAL ANATOMY OF THE ABDOMINAL CAVITY

TOPOGRAPHY OF UPPER FLOOR BODIES

ABDOMINAL

1.1 Abdomen (cavitas abdominis) and its floors (boundaries, contents)

Borders of the abdominal cavity.

The upper wall of the abdominal cavity is formed by the diaphragm, the posterior wall is formed by the lumbar vertebrae and muscles of the lumbar region, the anterolateral wall is formed by the abdominal muscles, the lower border is the terminal line. All these muscles are covered by the circular fascia - the fascia of the abdomen, which is called the intra-abdominal fascia (fascia endoabdominalis); it directly limits the space called the abdominal cavity (or abdominal cavity).

The abdominal cavity is divided into 2 sections:

​peritoneal cavity (cavitas peritonei)- a slit-like space located between the layers of the parietal and visceral peritoneum and containing intraperitoneal and mesoperitoneal organs;

​retroperitoneal space (spatium retroperitoneale)- located between the parietal layer of peritoneum, covering the posterior abdominal wall, and the intra-abdominal fascia; it contains extra-peritoneal organs.

The transverse colon and its mesentery form a septum that divides the abdominal cavity into 2 floors - upper and lower.

In the upper floor of the abdominal cavity there are: liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas, upper half of the duodenum. The subgastric gland is located behind the peritoneum; however, it is considered as an organ of the abdominal cavity, since surgical access to it is usually carried out by transection. In the lower floor there are loops of the small intestine (with the lower half of the duodenum) and the large intestine.

Topography of the peritoneum: course, canals, sinuses, bags, ligaments, folds, pockets

Peritoneum (peritoneum)– a thin serous membrane with a smooth, shiny, uniform surface. Consists of parietal peritoneum (peri-toneum parietale) lining the abdominal wall, and visceral peritoneum (peritoneum viscerale) covering the abdominal organs. Between the leaves there is a slit-like space called the peritoneal cavity and containing a small amount of serous fluid, which moisturizes the surface of the organs and facilitates peristalsis. The parietal peritoneum lines the inside of the anterior and lateral walls of the abdomen, at the top it goes to the diaphragm, at the bottom to the large and small pelvis, at the back it does not reach the spine, limiting the retroperitoneal space.

The relationship of the visceral peritoneum to the organs is not the same in all cases. Some organs are covered with it on all sides and are located intraperitoneally: the stomach, spleen, small, cecum, transverse and sigmoid colons, and sometimes the gall bladder. They are completely covered with peritoneum. Some organs are covered with visceral peritoneum on 3 sides, i.e. they are located mesoperitoneally: liver, gall bladder, ascending and descending colons, initial and final sections of the duodenum.

Some organs are covered by peritoneum on only one side - extraperitoneally: duodenum, pancreas, kidneys, adrenal glands, bladder.

Course of the peritoneum

The visceral peritoneum, covering the diaphragmatic surface of the liver, passes to its lower surface. The leaves of the peritoneum, one from the anterior part of the lower surface of the liver, the other from the posterior, meet at the gate and descend down towards the lesser curvature of the stomach and the initial part of the duodenum, participating in the formation of the ligaments of the lesser omentum. The leaves of the lesser omentum diverge at the lesser curvature of the stomach, cover the stomach in front and behind, and, reuniting at the greater curvature of the stomach, descend downwards, forming the anterior plate of the greater omentum (omentum majus). Having gone down, sometimes to the pubic symphysis, the leaves are wrapped and directed upward, forming the posterior plate of the greater omentum. Having reached the transverse colon, the layers of the peritoneum bend around its anterosuperior surface and go to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. At this point they diverge, and one of them rises upward, covering the pancreas, the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity, partially the diaphragm and, having reached the posteroinferior edge of the liver, passes to its lower surface. The other layer of the peritoneum wraps up and goes in the opposite direction, i.e., from the posterior wall of the abdomen to the transverse colon, which it covers, and again returns to the posterior wall of the abdomen. This is how the mesentery of the transverse colon is formed (mesocolon transversum), consisting of 4 layers of peritoneum. From the root of the mesentery of the transverse colon, the layer of peritoneum descends and, as the parietal peritoneum, lines the posterior wall of the abdomen, then covers the ascending (right) and descending (left) colons on 3 sides. Inward from the ascending and descending colons, the parietal layer of the peritoneum covers the organs of the retroperitoneal space and, approaching the small intestine, forms its mesentery, enveloping the intestine on all sides.

From the posterior wall of the abdomen, the parietal layer of the peritoneum descends into the pelvic cavity, where it covers the initial sections of the rectum, then lines the walls of the small pelvis and passes to the bladder (in women, it first covers the uterus), covering it from behind, from the sides and from above. From the top of the bladder, the peritoneum passes to the anterior wall of the abdomen, closing the peritoneal cavity. For a more detailed course of the peritoneum in the pelvic cavity, see the topic “Topographic anatomy of the pelvis and perineum.”

Channels

On the sides of the ascending and descending colons are the right and left abdominal canals (canalis lateralis dexter et sinister), formed as a result of the transition of the peritoneum from the side wall of the abdomen to the colon. The right channel has a connection between the upper floor and the lower one. In the left channel there is no connection between the upper floor and the lower floor due to the presence of the diaphragmatic-colic ligament (lig. phrenicocolicum).

Abdominal sinuses(sinus mesentericus dexter et sinus mesentericus sinister)

The right sinus is limited: on the right - by the ascending colon; above - the transverse colon, on the left - the mesentery of the small intestine. Left sinus: on the left - the descending colon, below - the entrance to the pelvic cavity, on the right - the mesentery of the small intestine.

Bags

Omental bag(bursa omentalis) limited: anteriorly by the lesser omentum, posterior wall of the stomach and gastrocolic ligament; behind - the parietal peritoneum, covering the pancreas, part of the abdominal aorta and the inferior vena cava; above - the liver and diaphragm; below - the transverse colon and its mesentery; on the left - the gastrosplenic and diaphragmatic-splenic ligaments, the hilum of the spleen. Communicates with the peritoneal cavity through stuffing box hole(foramen epiploicum, foramen of Winslow), bounded in front by the hepato-duodenal ligament, below by the duodenal-renal ligament and the upper horizontal part of the duodenum, behind by the hepatorenal ligament and parietal peritoneum covering the inferior vena cava, above by the caudate lobe of the liver.

Right hepatic bursa(bursa hepatica dextra) It is bounded above by the tendon center of the diaphragm, below by the diaphragmatic surface of the right lobe of the liver, behind by the right coronary ligament, on the left by the falciform ligament. It is the site of subphrenic abscesses.

Left hepatic bursa(bursa hepatica sinistra) bounded above by the diaphragm, behind by the left coronary ligament of the liver, on the right by the falciform ligament, on the left by the left triangular ligament of the liver, below by the diaphragmatic surface of the left lobe of the liver.

Pregastric bursa(bursa pregastrica) It is limited from above by the left lobe of the liver, in front - by the parietal peritoneum of the anterior abdominal wall, behind - by the lesser omentum and the anterior surface of the stomach, on the right - by the falciform ligament.

Preomental space(spatium preepiploicum)- a long gap located between the anterior surface of the greater omentum and the inner surface of the anterior abdominal wall. Through this gap, the upper and lower floors communicate with each other.

Peritoneal ligaments

In places where the peritoneum transitions from the abdominal wall to an organ or from organ to organ, ligaments are formed (ligg. peritonei).

Hepatoduodenal ligament(lig. hepatoduodenale) stretched between the porta hepatis and the upper part of the duodenum. On the left it passes into the hepatogastric ligament, and on the right it ends with a free edge. Between the leaves of the ligament pass: on the right - the common bile duct and the common hepatic and cystic ducts that form it, on the left - the proper hepatic artery and its branches, between them and behind - the portal vein ("TWO"- ductus, vein, artery from right to left), as well as lymphatic vessels and nodes, nerve plexuses.

Hepatogastric ligament(lig. hepatogastricum) It is a duplication of the peritoneum, stretched between the gates of the liver and the lesser curvature of the stomach; on the left it passes to the abdominal esophagus, on the right it continues into the hepatoduodenal ligament.

The hepatic branches of the anterior vagus trunk pass through the upper part of the ligament. At the base of this ligament, in some cases, there is the left gastric artery, accompanied by a vein of the same name, but more often these vessels lie on the wall of the stomach along the lesser curvature. In addition, often (in 16.5%) an accessory hepatic artery is located in the tense part of the ligament, coming from the left gastric artery. In rare cases, the main trunk of the left gastric vein or its tributaries passes here.

When mobilizing the stomach along the lesser curvature, especially if the ligament is dissected near the portal of the liver (for stomach cancer), it is necessary to take into account the possibility of the left accessory hepatic artery passing here, since its intersection can lead to necrosis of the left lobe of the liver or part of it.

On the right, at the base of the hepatogastric ligament, the right gastric artery passes, accompanied by the vein of the same name.

Hepatorenal ligament(lig. hepatorenal) is formed at the site of transition of the peritoneum from the lower surface of the right lobe of the liver to the right kidney. The inferior vena cava passes through the medial part of this ligament.

Gastrophrenic ligament(lig. gastrophrenicum) located to the left of the esophagus, between the bottom of the stomach and the diaphragm. The ligament has the shape of a triangular plate and consists of one layer of peritoneum, at the base of which there is loose connective tissue. On the left, the ligament passes into the superficial layer of the gastrosplenic ligament, and on the right - onto the anterior semicircle of the esophagus.

The transition of the peritoneum from the gastrophrenic ligament to the anterior wall of the esophagus and to the hepatogastric ligament is called diaphragmatic-esophageal ligament(lig. phrenicooesophageum).

Diaphragmatic-esophageal ligament (lig. phrenicoesophageum) represents the transition of the parietal peritoneum from the diaphragm to the esophagus and the cardiac part of the stomach. At its base in loose tissue along the anterior surface of the esophagus there are r. esophageus from a. gastrica sinistra and the trunk of the left vagus nerve.

Gastrosplenic ligament (lig. gastrolienale), stretched between the fundus of the stomach and the upper part of the greater curvature and the hilum of the spleen, is located below the gastrophrenic ligament. It consists of 2 layers of peritoneum, between which short gastric arteries pass, accompanied by veins of the same name. Continuing downwards, it passes into the gastrocolic ligament.

Gastrocolic ligament (lig. gastrocolicum) consists of 2 layers of peritoneum. It is the initial section of the greater omentum and is located between the greater curvature of the stomach and the transverse colon. This is the widest ligament, which runs in the form of a strip from the lower pole of the spleen to the pylorus. The ligament is loosely connected to the anterior semicircle of the transverse colon, as well as to tenia omentalis. It contains the right and left gastroepiploic arteries.

Gastropancreatic ligament (lig. gastropancreaticum) located between the upper edge of the pancreas and the cardiac part, as well as the fundus of the stomach. It is quite clearly defined if the gastrocolic ligament is cut and the stomach is pulled anteriorly and upward.

In the free edge of the gastro-pancreatic ligament there is the initial section of the left gastric artery and the vein of the same name, as well as lymphatic vessels and gastro-pancreatic lymph nodes. In addition, at the base of the ligament along the upper edge of the pancreas there are pancreasplenic lymph nodes.

Pyloropancreatic ligament (lig. pyloropancreaticum) in the form of a duplication of the peritoneum, it is stretched between the pylorus and the right part of the body of the pancreas. It has the shape of a triangle, one side of which is fixed to the posterior surface of the pylorus, and the other to the anteroinferior surface of the body of the gland; the free edge of the ligament is directed to the left. Sometimes the ligament is not expressed.

Small lymph nodes are concentrated in the pyloropancreatic ligament, which can be affected by cancer of the pyloric part of the stomach. Therefore, during gastric resection it is necessary to completely remove this ligament along with the lymph nodes.

Between the gastropancreatic and pyloric-pancreatic ligaments there is a slit-like gastropancreatic opening. The shape and size of this hole depend on the degree of development of the mentioned ligaments. Sometimes the ligaments are so developed that they overlap each other or grow together, closing the gastro-pancreatic opening.

This leads to the fact that the cavity of the omental bursa is divided by ligaments into 2 separate spaces. In such cases, if there is pathological content in the cavity of the omental bursa (effusion, blood, gastric contents, etc.), it will be located in one or another space.

Phrenic-splenic ligament (lig. phrenicolienale) located deep in the posterior part of the left hypochondrium, between the costal part of the diaphragm and the hilum of the spleen.

There is tension between the costal part of the diaphragm and the left flexure of the colon diaphragmatic-colic ligament (lig. phrenicocolicum). This ligament, together with the transverse colon, forms a deep pocket in which the anterior pole of the spleen is located.

Duodenal-renal ligament (lig. duodenorenale) located between the posterosuperior edge of the duodenum and the right kidney, limits the omental foramen from below.

Suspensory ligament of the duodenum or ligament of Treitz (lig. suspensorium duodeni s. lig. Treitz) formed by a fold of peritoneum covering the muscle that suspends the duodenum (m. suspensorius duodeni). The muscle bundles of the latter arise from the circular muscular layer of the intestine at the point of its inflection. The narrow and strong muscle is directed from flexura duodenojejunalis upward, behind the pancreas it expands fan-shaped and is woven into the muscle bundles of the legs of the diaphragm.

Pancreasplenic ligament (lig. pancreaticolienale) is a continuation of the diaphragmatic-splenic ligament and is a fold of peritoneum that stretches from the tail of the gland to the gate of the spleen.

1. Around the beginning of the jejunum, the parietal peritoneum forms a fold bordering the intestine from above and to the left - this is the superior duodenal fold (plica duodenalis superior). The superior duodenal recess is localized in this area (recessus duodenalis superior), on the right it is limited by the duodenum-jejunal flexure 12, on the top and on the left - by the superior duodenal fold, in which the inferior mesenteric vein passes.

2. To the left of the ascending part of the duodenum there is a paraduodenal fold (plica paraduodenalis). This fold limits the inconstant paraduodenal recess anteriorly. (recessus paraduodenalis), the posterior wall of which is the parietal peritoneum.

3. To the left and below from the ascending part of the duodenum passes the lower duodenal fold (plica duodenalis inferior), which limits the inferior duodenal recess (recessus duodenalis inferior).

4. To the left of the root of the mesentery of the small intestine, behind the ascending part of the duodenum, there is a retroduodenal recess (recessus retroduodenalis).

5. At the point where the ileum enters the cecum, an ileocecal fold is formed (plica ileocecalis). It is located between the medial wall of the cecum, the anterior wall of the ileum, and also connects the medial wall of the cecum with the lower wall of the ileum at the top and with the base of the appendix at the bottom. Under the ileocecal fold lie the pockets located above and below the ileum: the upper and lower ileocecal recesses (recessus ileocecalis superior et recessus ileocecalis inferior). The superior ileocecal recess is bounded at the top by the ileocolic fold, at the bottom by the terminal section of the ileum, and externally by the initial section of the ascending colon. The lower ileocecal recess is limited at the top by the terminal ileum, behind - by the mesentery of the appendix and in front - by the ileocecal fold of the peritoneum.

6. Postcolic recess (recessus retrocecalis) bounded anteriorly by the cecum, posteriorly by the parietal peritoneum and externally by the cecum-intestinal folds of the peritoneum (plicae cecales), stretched between the lateral edge of the bottom of the cecum and the parietal peritoneum of the iliac fossa.

7. Intersigmoid recess (recessus intersigmoideus) located on the left at the root of the mesentery of the sigmoid colon.

Abdominal cavity divided into peritoneal cavity and retroperitoneal space. Peritoneal cavity limits the parietal layer of the peritoneum. The retroperitoneal space is the part of the abdominal cavity lying between the parietal fascia of the abdomen at its posterior wall and the parietal peritoneum.

CHAPTER 1

SURGICAL ANATOMY OF THE ABDOMINAL CAVITY

TOPOGRAPHY OF UPPER FLOOR BODIES

ABDOMINAL

1.1 Abdomen (cavitas abdominis) and its floors (boundaries, contents)

Borders of the abdominal cavity.

The upper wall of the abdominal cavity is formed by the diaphragm, the posterior wall is formed by the lumbar vertebrae and muscles of the lumbar region, the anterolateral wall is formed by the abdominal muscles, the lower border is the terminal line. All these muscles are covered by the circular fascia - the fascia of the abdomen, which is called the intra-abdominal fascia (fascia endoabdominalis); it directly limits the space called the abdominal cavity (or abdominal cavity).

The abdominal cavity is divided into 2 sections:

​peritoneal cavity (cavitas peritonei)- a slit-like space located between the layers of the parietal and visceral peritoneum and containing intraperitoneal and mesoperitoneal organs;

​retroperitoneal space (spatium retroperitoneale)- located between the parietal layer of peritoneum, covering the posterior abdominal wall, and the intra-abdominal fascia; it contains extra-peritoneal organs.

The transverse colon and its mesentery form a septum that divides the abdominal cavity into 2 floors - upper and lower.

In the upper floor of the abdominal cavity there are: liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas, upper half of the duodenum. The subgastric gland is located behind the peritoneum; however, it is considered as an organ of the abdominal cavity, since surgical access to it is usually carried out by transection. In the lower floor there are loops of the small intestine (with the lower half of the duodenum) and the large intestine.

Topography of the peritoneum: course, canals, sinuses, bags, ligaments, folds, pockets

Peritoneum (peritoneum)– a thin serous membrane with a smooth, shiny, uniform surface. Consists of parietal peritoneum (peri-toneum parietale) lining the abdominal wall, and visceral peritoneum (peritoneum viscerale) covering the abdominal organs. Between the leaves there is a slit-like space called the peritoneal cavity and containing a small amount of serous fluid, which moisturizes the surface of the organs and facilitates peristalsis. The parietal peritoneum lines the inside of the anterior and lateral walls of the abdomen, at the top it goes to the diaphragm, at the bottom to the large and small pelvis, at the back it does not reach the spine, limiting the retroperitoneal space.

The relationship of the visceral peritoneum to the organs is not the same in all cases. Some organs are covered with it on all sides and are located intraperitoneally: the stomach, spleen, small, cecum, transverse and sigmoid colons, and sometimes the gall bladder. They are completely covered with peritoneum. Some organs are covered with visceral peritoneum on 3 sides, i.e. they are located mesoperitoneally: liver, gall bladder, ascending and descending colons, initial and final sections of the duodenum.

Some organs are covered by peritoneum on only one side - extraperitoneally: duodenum, pancreas, kidneys, adrenal glands, bladder.

Course of the peritoneum

Visceral peritoneum, covering the diaphragmatic surface of the liver, passes to its lower surface. The leaves of the peritoneum, one from the anterior part of the lower surface of the liver, the other from the posterior, meet at the gate and descend down towards the lesser curvature of the stomach and the initial part of the duodenum, participating in the formation of the ligaments of the lesser omentum. The leaves of the lesser omentum diverge at the lesser curvature of the stomach, cover the stomach in front and behind, and, reuniting at the greater curvature of the stomach, descend downwards, forming the anterior plate of the greater omentum (omentum majus). Having gone down, sometimes to the pubic symphysis, the leaves are wrapped and directed upward, forming the posterior plate of the greater omentum. Having reached the transverse colon, the layers of the peritoneum bend around its anterosuperior surface and go to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. At this point they diverge, and one of them rises upward, covering the pancreas, the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity, partially the diaphragm and, having reached the posteroinferior edge of the liver, passes to its lower surface. The other layer of the peritoneum wraps up and goes in the opposite direction, i.e., from the posterior wall of the abdomen to the transverse colon, which it covers, and again returns to the posterior wall of the abdomen. This is how the mesentery of the transverse colon is formed (mesocolon transversum), consisting of 4 layers of peritoneum. From the root of the mesentery of the transverse colon, the layer of peritoneum descends and, as the parietal peritoneum, lines the posterior wall of the abdomen, then covers the ascending (right) and descending (left) colons on 3 sides. Inward from the ascending and descending colons, the parietal layer of the peritoneum covers the organs of the retroperitoneal space and, approaching the small intestine, forms its mesentery, enveloping the intestine on all sides.

From the posterior wall of the abdomen, the parietal layer of the peritoneum descends into the pelvic cavity, where it covers the initial sections of the rectum, then lines the walls of the small pelvis and passes to the bladder (in women, it first covers the uterus), covering it from behind, from the sides and from above. From the top of the bladder, the peritoneum passes to the anterior wall of the abdomen, closing the peritoneal cavity. For a more detailed course of the peritoneum in the pelvic cavity, see the topic “Topographic anatomy of the pelvis and perineum.”

Channels

On the sides of the ascending and descending colons are the right and left abdominal canals (canalis lateralis dexter et sinister), formed as a result of the transition of the peritoneum from the side wall of the abdomen to the colon. The right channel has a connection between the upper floor and the lower one. In the left channel there is no connection between the upper floor and the lower floor due to the presence of the diaphragmatic-colic ligament (lig. phrenicocolicum).

Abdominal sinuses(sinus mesentericus dexter et sinus mesentericus sinister)

The right sinus is limited: on the right - by the ascending colon; above - the transverse colon, on the left - the mesentery of the small intestine. Left sinus: on the left - the descending colon, below - the entrance to the pelvic cavity, on the right - the mesentery of the small intestine.

Bags

Omental bag(bursa omentalis) limited: anteriorly by the lesser omentum, posterior wall of the stomach and gastrocolic ligament; behind - the parietal peritoneum, covering the pancreas, part of the abdominal aorta and the inferior vena cava; above - the liver and diaphragm; below - the transverse colon and its mesentery; on the left - the gastrosplenic and diaphragmatic-splenic ligaments, the hilum of the spleen. Communicates with the peritoneal cavity through stuffing box hole(foramen epiploicum, foramen of Winslow), bounded in front by the hepato-duodenal ligament, below by the duodenal-renal ligament and the upper horizontal part of the duodenum, behind by the hepatorenal ligament and parietal peritoneum covering the inferior vena cava, above by the caudate lobe of the liver.

Right hepatic bursa(bursa hepatica dextra) It is bounded above by the tendon center of the diaphragm, below by the diaphragmatic surface of the right lobe of the liver, behind by the right coronary ligament, on the left by the falciform ligament. It is the site of subphrenic abscesses.

Left hepatic bursa(bursa hepatica sinistra) bounded above by the diaphragm, behind by the left coronary ligament of the liver, on the right by the falciform ligament, on the left by the left triangular ligament of the liver, below by the diaphragmatic surface of the left lobe of the liver.

Pregastric bursa(bursa pregastrica) It is limited from above by the left lobe of the liver, in front - by the parietal peritoneum of the anterior abdominal wall, behind - by the lesser omentum and the anterior surface of the stomach, on the right - by the falciform ligament.

Preomental space(spatium preepiploicum)- a long gap located between the anterior surface of the greater omentum and the inner surface of the anterior abdominal wall. Through this gap, the upper and lower floors communicate with each other.

Peritoneal ligaments

In places where the peritoneum transitions from the abdominal wall to an organ or from organ to organ, ligaments are formed (ligg. peritonei).

Hepatoduodenal ligament(lig. hepatoduodenale) stretched between the porta hepatis and the upper part of the duodenum. On the left it passes into the hepatogastric ligament, and on the right it ends with a free edge. Between the leaves of the ligament pass: on the right - the common bile duct and the common hepatic and cystic ducts that form it, on the left - the proper hepatic artery and its branches, between them and behind - the portal vein ("TWO"- ductus, vein, artery from right to left), as well as lymphatic vessels and nodes, nerve plexuses.

Hepatogastric ligament(lig. hepatogastricum) It is a duplication of the peritoneum, stretched between the gates of the liver and the lesser curvature of the stomach; on the left it passes to the abdominal esophagus, on the right it continues into the hepatoduodenal ligament.

The hepatic branches of the anterior vagus trunk pass through the upper part of the ligament. At the base of this ligament, in some cases, there is the left gastric artery, accompanied by a vein of the same name, but more often these vessels lie on the wall of the stomach along the lesser curvature. In addition, often (in 16.5%) an accessory hepatic artery is located in the tense part of the ligament, coming from the left gastric artery. In rare cases, the main trunk of the left gastric vein or its tributaries passes here.

When mobilizing the stomach along the lesser curvature, especially if the ligament is dissected near the portal of the liver (for stomach cancer), it is necessary to take into account the possibility of the left accessory hepatic artery passing here, since its intersection can lead to necrosis of the left lobe of the liver or part of it.

On the right, at the base of the hepatogastric ligament, the right gastric artery passes, accompanied by the vein of the same name.

Hepatorenal ligament(lig. hepatorenal) is formed at the site of transition of the peritoneum from the lower surface of the right lobe of the liver to the right kidney. The inferior vena cava passes through the medial part of this ligament.

Gastrophrenic ligament(lig. gastrophrenicum) located to the left of the esophagus, between the bottom of the stomach and the diaphragm. The ligament has the shape of a triangular plate and consists of one layer of peritoneum, at the base of which there is loose connective tissue. On the left, the ligament passes into the superficial layer of the gastrosplenic ligament, and on the right - onto the anterior semicircle of the esophagus.

The transition of the peritoneum from the gastrophrenic ligament to the anterior wall of the esophagus and to the hepatogastric ligament is called diaphragmatic-esophageal ligament(lig. phrenicooesophageum).

Diaphragmatic-esophageal ligament (lig. phrenicoesophageum) represents the transition of the parietal peritoneum from the diaphragm to the esophagus and the cardiac part of the stomach. At its base in loose tissue along the anterior surface of the esophagus there are r. esophageus from a. gastrica sinistra and the trunk of the left vagus nerve.

Gastrosplenic ligament (lig. gastrolienale), stretched between the fundus of the stomach and the upper part of the greater curvature and the hilum of the spleen, is located below the gastrophrenic ligament. It consists of 2 layers of peritoneum, between which short gastric arteries pass, accompanied by veins of the same name. Continuing downwards, it passes into the gastrocolic ligament.

Gastrocolic ligament (lig. gastrocolicum) consists of 2 layers of peritoneum. It is the initial section of the greater omentum and is located between the greater curvature of the stomach and the transverse colon. This is the widest ligament, which runs in the form of a strip from the lower pole of the spleen to the pylorus. The ligament is loosely connected to the anterior semicircle of the transverse colon, as well as to tenia omentalis. It contains the right and left gastroepiploic arteries.

Gastropancreatic ligament (lig. gastropancreaticum) located between the upper edge of the pancreas and the cardiac part, as well as the fundus of the stomach. It is quite clearly defined if the gastrocolic ligament is cut and the stomach is pulled anteriorly and upward.

In the free edge of the gastro-pancreatic ligament there is the initial section of the left gastric artery and the vein of the same name, as well as lymphatic vessels and gastro-pancreatic lymph nodes. In addition, at the base of the ligament along the upper edge of the pancreas there are pancreasplenic lymph nodes.

Pyloropancreatic ligament (lig. pyloropancreaticum) in the form of a duplication of the peritoneum, it is stretched between the pylorus and the right part of the body of the pancreas. It has the shape of a triangle, one side of which is fixed to the posterior surface of the pylorus, and the other to the anteroinferior surface of the body of the gland; the free edge of the ligament is directed to the left. Sometimes the ligament is not expressed.

Small lymph nodes are concentrated in the pyloropancreatic ligament, which can be affected by cancer of the pyloric part of the stomach. Therefore, during gastric resection it is necessary to completely remove this ligament along with the lymph nodes.

Between the gastropancreatic and pyloric-pancreatic ligaments there is a slit-like gastropancreatic opening. The shape and size of this hole depend on the degree of development of the mentioned ligaments. Sometimes the ligaments are so developed that they overlap each other or grow together, closing the gastro-pancreatic opening.

This leads to the fact that the cavity of the omental bursa is divided by ligaments into 2 separate spaces. In such cases, if there is pathological content in the cavity of the omental bursa (effusion, blood, gastric contents, etc.), it will be located in one or another space.

Phrenic-splenic ligament (lig. phrenicolienale) located deep in the posterior part of the left hypochondrium, between the costal part of the diaphragm and the hilum of the spleen.

There is tension between the costal part of the diaphragm and the left flexure of the colon diaphragmatic-colic ligament (lig. phrenicocolicum). This ligament, together with the transverse colon, forms a deep pocket in which the anterior pole of the spleen is located.

Duodenal-renal ligament (lig. duodenorenale) located between the posterosuperior edge of the duodenum and the right kidney, limits the omental foramen from below.

Suspensory ligament of the duodenum or ligament of Treitz (lig. suspensorium duodeni s. lig. Treitz) formed by a fold of peritoneum covering the muscle that suspends the duodenum (m. suspensorius duodeni). The muscle bundles of the latter arise from the circular muscular layer of the intestine at the point of its inflection. The narrow and strong muscle is directed from flexura duodenojejunalis upward, behind the pancreas it expands fan-shaped and is woven into the muscle bundles of the legs of the diaphragm.

Pancreasplenic ligament (lig. pancreaticolienale) is a continuation of the diaphragmatic-splenic ligament and is a fold of peritoneum that stretches from the tail of the gland to the gate of the spleen.

1. Around the beginning of the jejunum, the parietal peritoneum forms a fold bordering the intestine from above and to the left - this is the superior duodenal fold (plica duodenalis superior). The superior duodenal recess is localized in this area (recessus duodenalis superior), on the right it is limited by the duodenum-jejunal flexure 12, on the top and on the left - by the superior duodenal fold, in which the inferior mesenteric vein passes.

2. To the left of the ascending part of the duodenum there is a paraduodenal fold (plica paraduodenalis). This fold limits the inconstant paraduodenal recess anteriorly. (recessus paraduodenalis), the posterior wall of which is the parietal peritoneum.

3. To the left and below from the ascending part of the duodenum passes the lower duodenal fold (plica duodenalis inferior), which limits the inferior duodenal recess (recessus duodenalis inferior).

4. To the left of the root of the mesentery of the small intestine, behind the ascending part of the duodenum, there is a retroduodenal recess (recessus retroduodenalis).

5. At the point where the ileum enters the cecum, an ileocecal fold is formed (plica ileocecalis). It is located between the medial wall of the cecum, the anterior wall of the ileum, and also connects the medial wall of the cecum with the lower wall of the ileum at the top and with the base of the appendix at the bottom. Under the ileocecal fold lie the pockets located above and below the ileum: the upper and lower ileocecal recesses (recessus ileocecalis superior et recessus ileocecalis inferior). The superior ileocecal recess is bounded at the top by the ileocolic fold, at the bottom by the terminal section of the ileum, and externally by the initial section of the ascending colon. The lower ileocecal recess is limited at the top by the terminal ileum, behind - by the mesentery of the appendix and in front - by the ileocecal fold of the peritoneum.

6. Postcolic recess (recessus retrocecalis) bounded anteriorly by the cecum, posteriorly by the parietal peritoneum and externally by the cecum-intestinal folds of the peritoneum (plicae cecales), stretched between the lateral edge of the bottom of the cecum and the parietal peritoneum of the iliac fossa.

7. Intersigmoid recess (recessus intersigmoideus) located on the left at the root of the mesentery of the sigmoid colon.

The abdominal cavity is the part of the abdominal cavity covered by the parietal peritoneum. In men it is closed, but in women it communicates with the uterine cavity through the openings of the fallopian tubes.

The visceral layer of the peritoneum covers the organs located in the abdominal cavity. Organs can be covered by peritoneum on all sides (intraperitoneal), on three sides (mesoperitoneal) and extraperitoneally (on one side or lying extraperitoneally). Organs covered intraperitoneally by the peritoneum have significant mobility, which is increased by the mesentery or ligaments. The displacement of the mesoperitoneal organs is insignificant (Fig. 123).

A special feature of the peritoneum is that the mesothelium (the first layer of the peritoneum) forms a smooth surface that allows organs to glide during peristalsis and changes in volume. Under normal conditions, the peritoneal cavity contains a minimal amount of clear serous fluid, which moisturizes the surface of the peritoneum and fills the gaps between organs and walls. Movements of organs in relation to each other and to the abdominal wall occur easily and without friction due to the fact that all contacting surfaces are smooth and moist. There is an omentum between the anterior wall of the abdomen and the internal organs. "

In the area of ​​the diaphragm, the peritoneum becomes thinner at the site of the “suction hatches.” The lumen of the hatches changes during the respiratory movements of the diaphragm, which ensures their suction effect. “Sucking hatches” are also present in the peritoneum of the rectovesical recess in men and the rectouterine recess in women.


There are areas of the peritoneum that transudate, absorb, and are indifferent to the abdominal fluid. Transuding areas are the small intestine and broad ligaments of the uterus. The suction parts of the parietal peritoneum are the diaphragm and the iliac fossae.

The abdominal cavity is divided by the mesentery of the transverse colon into two floors: upper and lower, which communicate with each other from the front through the preepiploic fissure and from the sides through the right and left lateral canals. In addition, the peritoneal floor of the small pelvis is distinguished

The upper floor of the abdominal cavity is located between the diaphragm and the mesentery of the transverse colon. It contains the stomach, spleen and mesoperitoneally covered intraperitoneally - the liver, gall bladder and the upper part of the duodenum. The pancreas belongs to the upper floor of the abdominal cavity, although it lies retroperitoneally, and part of the head is located below the root of the mesentery of the transverse colon. The listed organs, their ligaments and the mesentery of the transverse colon limit separate spaces, crevices and bags in the upper floor of the abdominal cavity.

Top floor bags. The space between the diaphragm and the liver is divided by the falciform ligament into two sections: left and right.

The right hepatic bursa, or bursa hepatica dextra, is the gap between the right lobe of the liver and the diaphragm. It is bounded above by the diaphragm, below by the right lobe of the liver, behind by the right part of the coronary ligament and on the left by the falciform ligament of the liver. It includes the right subphrenic space and the subhepatic space.


The right subphrenic space is located most deeply between the posterior surface of the right lobe of the liver, the diaphragm and the coronary ligament. It is in the subdiaphragmatic space, as in the deepest place of the hepatic bursa, that fluid poured into the abdominal cavity can be retained. The subdiaphragmatic space in most cases directly passes into the right lateral canal of the lower floor of the abdominal cavity. Therefore, inflammatory exudate from the right iliac fossa can freely move towards the subphrenic space and lead to the formation of an encysted abscess, called a subphrenic abscess. It most often develops as a complication of a perforated ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, destructive appendicitis, cholecystitis.

The subhepatic space is the lower part of the i fava of the hepatic bursa and is located between the lower surface of the right lobe of the liver, the transverse colon and its mesentery, to the right of the porta hepatis and the hepatoduodenal ligament. In the subhepatic space, anterior and posterior sections are distinguished. Almost the entire peritoneal surface of the gallbladder and the upper outer surface of the duodenum face the anterior section of this space. The posterior section, located at the posterior edge of the liver, is the least accessible part of the subhepatic space - a depression called the renal-hepatic recess. Abscesses that arise as a result of perforation of a duodenal ulcer or purulent cholecystitis are more often located in the anterior section, while the spread of a periappendiceal abscess occurs mainly in the posterior section of the subhepatic space.

The left subphrenic space consists of widely communicating bursae: the left hepatic and pregastric.

The left hepatic bursa is a gap between the left lobe of the liver and the diaphragm, bounded on the right by the falciform ligament of the liver, posteriorly by the left part of the coronary ligament and the left triangular ligament of the liver. This bursa has a much smaller width and depth than the right hepatic bursa, and is usually not distinguished as a special part of the subdiaphragmatic space.


The pregastric bursa is bounded posteriorly by the lesser omentum and stomach, the upper left lobe of the liver, the diaphragm, anteriorly by the anterior abdominal wall, on the right by the falciform and round ligaments of the liver, on the left the pregastric bursa has no pronounced border. In the external posterior part of the left subdiaphragmatic space there is the spleen with ligaments: gastrosplenic and phrenic-splenic. () from the left lateral canal it is separated by the left diaphragmatic-colic ligament. This ligament is often wide, it covers the lower pole of the spleen and is called the splenic suspensory ligament. Thus, the bed of the spleen is well delimited from the left lateral canal; it is a blind recess (saccus caecus lienalis). The left subdiaphragmatic space plays a much smaller role than the right as a site for the formation of abscesses. Rarely developing in this space, purulent processes tend to spread between the left lobe of the liver and the stomach down to the transverse colon or to the left to the blind sac of the spleen. The communication between the right hepatic and pregastric bursae is carried out through a narrow gap between the liver and the pyloric part of the stomach, in front of the lesser omentum.

The omental bursa (bursa omentalis) is a large closed slit-like space of the abdominal cavity, the most isolated and deep.

The anterior wall of the omental bursa is formed by the lesser omentum, the posterior wall of the stomach and the gastrocolic ligament (the initial part of the greater omentum). The lesser omentum is three ligaments that pass into one another: the hepatoduodenal, hepatogastric and phrenic-gastric. The lower wall of the omental bursa is formed by the transverse colon and its mesentery. From above, the omental bursa is limited by the caudate lobe of the liver and the diaphragm, the posterior wall is formed by the parietal peritoneum, covering the front of the pancreas, aorta, inferior vena cava, upper pole of the left kidney with the adrenal gland, on the left it is limited by the spleen with the gastrosplenic ligament, and the right wall is not expressed.

In the omental bursa there are depressions, or inversions: the upper one is located behind the caudate lobe of the liver and reaches the diaphragm, the lower one is in the region of the mesentery of the transverse colon and the splenic one.

Entry into the omental bursa is possible only through the omental foramen, limited anteriorly by the hepatoduodenal ligament, posteriorly by the hepatorenal ligament, in the thickness of which lies the inferior vena cava, superiorly by the caudate lobe of the liver, and inferiorly by the nephroduodenal ligament.


The omental opening allows one or two fingers to pass through, but if adhesions form, it can be closed and then the omental bursa is a completely isolated space. The contents of the stomach can accumulate in the omental bursa when an ulcer is perforated;
purulent processes occur as a result of inflammatory diseases of the pancreas.

There are three operational approaches to the omental bursa for examination, revision of organs and operations on them (Fig. 124):

1. Through the gastrocolic ligament, which is most preferable, since it can be cut widely. Used to examine the posterior wall of the stomach and pancreas for inflammation and injury.

2. Through the hole in the mesentery of the transverse colon in an avascular place, you can examine the cavity of the omental bursa and perform a gastrointestinal anastomosis.

3. Access through the hepatogastric ligament is more convenient when the stomach prolapses. Used during operations on the celiac artery.

Canals and sinuses of the lower floor. The lower floor of the abdominal cavity occupies the space between the mesentery of the transverse colon and the small pelvis. The ascending and descending colons and the root of the mesentery of the small intestine divide the lower floor of the abdominal cavity into four sections: the right and left lateral canals and the right and left (mesenteric sinuses (Fig. 125).

The right lateral canal is located between the ascending colon and the right lateral wall of the abdomen. At the top, the canal passes into the sub-shaphragmatic space, at the bottom - into the right iliac fossa, and then into the small pelvis.

The left lateral canal is limited by the descending colon and the left lateral wall of the abdomen and passes into
left iliac region. The deepest in a horizontal position are the upper sections of the canals.


The right mesenteric sinus is bounded on the right by the ascending colon, above by the mesentery of the transverse colon, and on the left and below by the mesentery of the small intestine. This sinus is largely delimited from other parts of the abdominal cavity. In a horizontal position, the upper right angle of the sinus is the deepest.

The left mesenteric sinus is larger in size than the right one. It is bounded above by the mesentery of the transverse colon, on the left by the descending colon and sigmoid mesentery, and on the right by the mesentery of the small intestine. The sinus is not limited from below and directly communicates with the pelvic cavity. In a horizontal position, the superior angle of the sinus is the deepest. Both mesenteric sinuses communicate with each other through the gap between the mesentery of the transverse colon and the initial part of the jejunum. Inflammatory exudate from the mesenteric sinuses can spread into the lateral canals of the abdominal cavity. The left mesenteric sinus is larger than the right one, and due to the absence of anatomical restrictions in its lower parts, suppurative processes developing in the sinus tend to descend into the pelvic cavity much more often than from the right mesenteric sinus.

Along with the tendency for inflammatory exudates to spread throughout all the crevices of the abdominal cavity, there are anatomical prerequisites for the formation of encysted peritonitis both in the lateral canals and in the mesenteric sinuses, especially in the right one, as it is more closed. During operations on the abdominal organs, especially with peritonitis, it is important to divert the loops of the small intestine first to the left, then to the right and remove pus and blood from the mesenteric sinuses to prevent the formation of encysted abscesses.

Abdominal pockets. The peritoneum, moving from organ to organ, forms ligaments, next to which there are depressions called pockets (recessus).

Recessus duodenojejunalis is formed at the junction of the duodenum into the jejunum, recessus iliocaecalis superior is formed at the junction of the ileum into the cecum in the area of ​​the upper ileocecal angle, recessus iliocaecalis inferior is formed in the area of ​​the lower ileo-cecal angle, recessus retrocaecalis is located behind the cecum, recessus intersigmoideus is a funnel-shaped depression between the mesentery of the sigmoid colon and the parietal peritoneum, its beginning faces the left lateral canal.

Pockets of the peritoneum can become a site for the formation of internal hernias. Peritoneal pockets with internal hernias can reach very large sizes. Internal hernias can become strangulated and cause intestinal obstruction.

Topographic anatomy of the stomach. The stomach is the main organ of the digestive system and is a mystical sac-like extension of the digestive tract located between the esophagus and the duodenum.


Holotopia. The stomach is projected onto the anterior abdominal wall in the left hypochondrium and its own epigastric region.

Departments. The inlet of the stomach is called cardiac, and the outlet is called pyloric. A perpendicular descending from the esophagus to the greater curvature divides the stomach into the cardiac section, consisting of the fundus and body, and the pyloric section, consisting of the vestibule and the pyloric canal. The stomach is divided into greater and lesser curvature, anterior and posterior surfaces.

Syntopy. The concept of “syntopic fields of the stomach” is distinguished. These are the places where the stomach comes into contact with neighboring organs. Syntopic fields of the stomach must be taken into account in case of combined injuries, penetration of ulcers and germination of stomach tumors. On the anterior wall of the stomach, three syntopic fields are distinguished: hepatic, diaphragmatic and free, which is in contact with the anterior wall of the abdomen. This field is also called the gastric triangle. This site is usually used for gastrotomies and gastrostomies. The size of the gastric triangle depends on the filling of the stomach. On the posterior wall of the stomach, five syntopic fields are distinguished: splenic, renal, adrenal, pancreatic and intestinal-colon.

Position. In the abdominal cavity, the stomach occupies a central position in the upper floor. Most of the stomach is located in the left subphrenic space, limiting the pregastric bursa behind and the omental bursa in front. The position of the stomach corresponds to the degree of inclination of the longitudinal axis of the stomach. Shevkunenko, in accordance with the location of the axis of the stomach, identified three types of positions: vertical (hook shape), horizontal (horn shape), oblique. It is believed that the position of the stomach is directly dependent on the body type.

Relation to the peritoneum. The stomach occupies an intraperitoneal position. At the junction of the layers of the peritoneum on the lesser and greater curvature, gastric ligaments are formed. The ligaments of the stomach are divided into superficial and deep. Superficial ligaments:

1) gastrocolic (part of the greater omentum);

2) gastrosplenic, short gastric vessels pass through it, the splenic vessels are located behind the ligament;

3) gastrodiaphragmatic;

4) diaphragmatic-esophageal, the esophageal branch from the left gastric artery passes through it;

5) hepatogastric, in which the left gastric artery and vein run along the lesser curvature;

6) hepatic-pyloric - continuation of the hepato-/gastric ligament. It has the shape of a narrow strip stretched between the gates of the liver and the pylorus, it forms an intermediate part between the hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal glands and serves as the right border when dissecting the gastric ligaments.

Deep ligaments:

1) gastro-pancreatic (at the transition of the peritoneum from the upper edge of the pancreas to the posterior surface of the stomach);

2) with the pyloric pancreas (between the pyloric otic region of the stomach and the right part of the body of the pancreas);

3) lateral diaphragmatic-pipiectal.

Blood supply to the stomach. The stomach is surrounded by a ring

widely anastomosing vessels giving off intramural branches and forming a dense network in the submucosa (Fig. 126). The source of blood supply is the celiac trunk, from which the left gastric artery departs, going directly to the lesser curvature of the stomach. The right gastric artery departs from the common hepatic artery, which anastomoses with the left one on the lesser curvature of the stomach, forming the arterial arch of the lesser curvature. The left and right gastroepiploic arteries form the arc of the greater curvature, and there are also short gastric arteries.


Innervation of the stomach. The stomach has a complex nervous apparatus. The main sources of innervation are the vagus nerves, the celiac plexus and its derivatives: gastric, hepatic, splenic, superior mesenteric plexuses. The vagus nerves, branching on the esophagus, form the esophageal plexus, and the first branches of both nerves mix and connect many times. Moving from the esophagus to the stomach, the branches of the esophageal plexus are concentrated into several trunks: the left one goes to the front surface of the stomach, and the right one goes to the back surface of the stomach, giving off branches to the liver, solar plexus, kidney and other organs. From the left vagus nerve a long branch of Latarget departs to the pyloric part of the stomach. The vagus nerves are a complex conduction system that supplies nerve fibers for various functional purposes to the stomach and other organs. There are a large number of connections between the left and right nerves in the chest and abdominal cavities, where fibers are exchanged. Therefore, we cannot speak of exclusive innervation by the left vagus nerve of the anterior wall of the stomach, and by the right - the posterior wall. The right vagus nerve often runs in the form of a single trunk, while the left one forms from one to four branches, more often there are two.


Lymph nodes of the gastrointestinal tract. Regional lymph nodes of the stomach are located along the lesser and greater curvature, as well as along the left gastric, common hepatic, splenic and celiac arteries. According to A.V. Melnikov (1960), lymph drainage from the stomach occurs through four main collectors (pools), each of which includes 4 stages.

The first lymphatic drainage collector collects lymph from the pyloroangral region of the stomach, adjacent to the greater curvature. The 11th stage is the lymph nodes located in the thickness of the gastrocolic ligament along the greater curvature, near the pylorus, the second stage is the lymph nodes along the edge of the head of the pancreas under and behind the pylorus, the third stage is the lymph nodes located in the thickness of the mesentery of the small intestine , and the fourth - retroperitoneal para-aortic lymph nodes.

In the 7/ lymphatic drainage collector, lymph flows from the part of the pyloric-antrum adjacent to the lesser curvature, and partly from the body of the stomach. The first stage is the retropyloric lymph nodes, the second is the lymph nodes in the lesser omentum in the dietary part of the lesser curvature, in the area of ​​the pylorus and duodenum, immediately behind the pylorus, the third stage is the lymph nodes located in the thickness of the hepatic gastric ligament. A V. Melnikov considered the fourth stage to be the lymph nodes at the porta hepatis.

The III collector collects lymph from the body of the stomach and the lesser curvature, the adjacent sections of the anterior and posterior walls, the walls, the medial part of the fornix and the abdominal esophagus. The first stage is lymph nodes located in the form of a chain along the lesser curvature in the tissue of the lesser omentum. The upper nodes of this chain are called paracardial; in case of cardia cancer, they are affected by metastases first. Lymph nodes along the left gastric vessels, in the thickness of the gastropancreatic ligament, are the second stage. Stage I - lymph nodes along the upper edge of the pancreas and in the area of ​​its tail. The fourth stage is lymph nodes in the paraesophageal tissue above and below the diaphragm.

In the IV collector, lymph flows from the vertical part of the greater curvature of the stomach, the adjacent anterior and posterior walls and a significant part of the gastric vault. Lymph nodes located in the upper left part of the gastrocolic ligament are the first stage. The second stage is the lymph nodes along the short arteries of the stomach, the third stage is the lymph nodes in the hilum of the spleen. A.V. Melnikov considered the fourth stage to be damage to the spleen.

Knowledge of the anatomy of regional lymph nodes of all collectors is extremely important for proper gastric surgery in compliance with oncological principles.

Topographic anatomy of the duodenum. The duodenum (duodenum) is the initial section of the small intestine. In front it is covered by the right lobe of the liver and the mesentery of the transverse colon; it itself covers the head of the pancreas, thus the duodenum lies deep and does not directly adjoin the anterior abdominal wall anywhere. The duodenum has four parts. It consists of an upper horizontal, descending, lower horizontal and ascending parts. Knowledge of the syntopy of the duodenum helps to explain the direction of ulcer penetration, tumor germination and the spread of phlegmon during retroperitoneal rupture of the organ.

The upper part of the duodenum, 4-5 cm long, is located between the pylorus of the stomach and the superior flexure of the duodenum and runs to the right and back along the right surface of the spine, passing into the descending part. This is the most mobile part of the intestine, covered on all sides by the peritoneum. All other parts of the intestine are covered with peritoneum only in front. In the initial part of the duodenum there is an extension called the duodenal bulb. Upper part of the duodenum from above; it comes into contact with the quadrate lobe of the liver, in front - with the gallbladder, in the back - with the portal vein, gastroduodenal artery, and common bile duct. The head of the pancreas is adjacent to the intestine from below and from the inside.


The descending part of the duodenum, 10–2 cm long, is located between flexura duodeni superior and flexura duodeni inferior. This part of the duodenum is inactive and is covered with peritoneum only in front. The descending part of the duodenum borders in front with the right lobe of the liver, the mesentery of the transverse colon, in the back with the gate of the right kidney, the renal pedicle, and the inferior vena cava. On the outside is the ascending part and the hepatic flexure of the colon, on the inside is the head of the pancreas. The common bile duct and pancreatic duct open into the descending part of the duodenum. They pierce the posterior mesenteric wall of the descending part of the duodenum in its middle section and open on the major (Vaterian) duodenal papilla. Above it there may be a non-permanent small duodenal papilla, on which the accessory duct of the pancreas opens.

From the lower bend of the duodenum begins 1" and its horizontal part, 2 to 6 cm long, covered in front by the peritoneum. The horizontal (lower) part lies at the level of the III and IV lumbar vertebrae, below the mesentery of the transverse colon, partially behind the root of the mesentery of the small intestine The first oriental part of the duodenum passes into the ascending part, 6-10 cm long. The ascending part ends with a duodenojejunal flexure, covered with peritoneum in front and on the sides. The following organs adjoin these parts of the duodenum: on top - the head and body of the subjejunal gland, in front - the transverse colon, loops of the racing intestines, the root of the mesentery of the small intestines and the superior mesenteric vessels. In the back - the right lumbar muscle, the inferior vena cava, the aorta, the left renal vein.

Tie the duodenum. The hepatoduodenal ligament is located between the porta hepatis and the initial Hi (fracture of the upper part of the duodenum. It fixes the initial part of the intestine and limits the omental foramen

In the upper part, the duodenum is covered on both sides by the peritoneum. The descending and horizontal parts of the radius are located retroperitoneally, the ascending part occupies an intraperitoneal position.

Blood supply to the duodenum (see Fig. 126) I a" comes from the celiac trunk system and the superior mesenteric irgern. The superior and inferior pancreatic duodenal arteries have anterior and posterior branches. As a result of anastomosis between them, anterior and posterior arterial arches are formed, which go between the concave semicircle of the duodenum and the head of the pancreas, which makes it impossible to separate them during surgery and forces them to be removed as a single block - pancreatoduodenal resection, performed, for example, for cancer of the papilla of Vater or a tumor of the head of the pancreas.

Large glands of the digestive tract

Topographic anatomy of the liver. The liver is one of the large glands of the digestive tract. The liver is distinguished by four morphofunctional features: 1) it is the largest organ; 2) has three circulatory systems: arterial, venous and portal; 3) all substances entering the gastrointestinal tract pass through it; 4) serves as a huge blood depot; 5) participates in all types of metabolism, synthesizes albumins, globulins, factors of the blood coagulation system, plays an important role in carbohydrate and fat metabolism and detoxification of the body, plays an important role in lymph production and lymph circulation.

Hayutopia. The liver of an adult is located in the right hypochondrium, the epigastric region itself, and partially in the left hypochondrium. The projection of the liver onto the anterior abdominal wall has the form of a triangle and can be constructed using three points: the upper point is on the right at the level of the 5th costal cartilage along the midclavicular line, the lower point is the 10th intercostal space along the midaxillary line, on the left - at the level of the 6th th costal cartilage along the parasternal line. The lower border of the liver coincides with the costal arch. From behind, the liver is projected onto the chest wall, to the right of the 10-11th thoracic vertebrae.

Position of the liver. The liver in relation to the frontal plane can be: 1) with a dorsopetal position, the diaphragmatic surface of the liver is thrown back and its anterior edge can be located above the costal arch; 2) in the ventropetal position, the diaphragmatic surface faces forward, and the visceral surface faces back. In the ventropetal position, surgical access to the lower surface of the liver is difficult, and in the dorsopetal position, it is difficult to access the upper surface.


The liver can occupy a right-sided position, then its right lobe is highly developed, and the size of the left lobe is reduced. () the organ occupies an almost vertical position, sometimes located only in the right half of the abdominal cavity. The left-sided position of the liver is characterized by the location of the organ in the horizontal plane and with a well-developed left lobe, which in some cases can extend beyond the spleen.

Liver syntopy. The diaphragmatic surface of the right lobe of the liver borders on the pleural cavity, the left lobe - on the pericardium, from which it is separated by the diaphragm. The visceral surface of the liver comes into contact with various organs, from which depressions are formed on the surface of the liver. The left lobe of the liver borders the lower end of the esophagus and the stomach. The pyloric part of the stomach is adjacent to the quadrate lobe. The right lobe of the liver in the area adjacent to the neck of the gallbladder borders on the upper horizontal part of the duodenum. 11more directly in contact with the transverse colon and the hepatic curvature of the colon. Posterior to this depression, the surface of the right lobe of the liver borders the right kidney and adrenal gland. Liver syntopy must be taken into account when assessing possible variants of combined injuries to the abdominal and thoracic cavities.

The porta hepatis is an anatomical formation that makes up the transverse and left longitudinal grooves of the visceral surface of the liver. Here, blood vessels and nerves enter the liver and bile ducts and lymphatic vessels exit. At the porta hepatis, vessels and ducts are accessible to surgical treatment, since they are located superficially, outside the parenchyma of the organ. The shape of the gate is of practical importance: open, closed and intermediate. When the porta hepatis is open, the transverse groove communicates with the left sagittal and accessory grooves, thereby creating favorable conditions for access to the lobar and segmental ducts. With a closed form of the porta hepatis, there is no communication with the left sagittal groove, there are no additional grooves, the size of the porta is reduced, therefore it is impossible to isolate segmental vessels and ducts in the porta hepatis without dissecting its parenchyma.


The porta hepatis can be located in the middle between the edges of the liver or shifted to its posterior or anterior edge. If the gate is displaced posteriorly, more difficult conditions are created for prompt access to the vessels and ducts of the portal system when performing liver resections and operations on the biliary tract.

The relationship to the peritoneum is mesoperitoneal, i.e. the liver is covered by peritoneum on three sides. The posterior surface of the liver is not covered by peritoneum; it is called the extraperitoneal field of the liver or pars m.ida.

The ligamentous apparatus of the liver is usually divided into true ligaments and peritoneal ligaments. True ligaments: 1) coronary, firmly fixing the postero-superior surface of the liver to the diaphragm, turning into triangular ligaments at the edges; 2) crescent-shaped, located in the sagittal plane on the border of the right and left lobes and turning into a steep ligament, which goes to the umbilicus and contains a partially obliterated umbilical vein. From the visceral surface of the liver, the peritoneal ligaments are directed down to the organs: hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal. The hepatoduodenal ligament (ligament of life) is considered the most important, since it contains the common bile duct (on the right), the common hepatic artery (on the left) and the portal vein, and lies between them and posteriorly. Clamping of the hepatoduodenal ligament with fingers or a special instrument is used to temporarily stop bleeding from the liver.

Liver fixation apparatus. The liver is kept in the correct anatomical position by: 1) extraperitoneal field (part of the posterior surface of the liver not covered by peritoneum); 2) the inferior vena cava, which lies on the posterior surface of the liver and receives the hepatic veins. Above the liver, the vein is fixed in the opening of the diaphragm, below it is firmly connected to the spine; 3) intra-abdominal pressure, muscle tone of the anterior abdominal wall and the suction action of the diaphragm; 4) liver ligaments.

Blood supply to the liver. Two vessels bring blood to the liver: the hepatic artery and the portal vein, 25 and 75%, respectively. The arterial supply to the liver comes from the common hepatic artery, which, after leaving the gastroduodenal artery, is called the proper hepatic artery and is divided into the right and left hepatic arteries.

Portal vein, v. porta, forms behind the head of the pancreas. This is the first section of the vein, which is called the pars pancreatica. The second section of the portal vein is located behind the upper horizontal part of the duodenum and winds around the pars retroduodenalis. The third section of the vein is located in the thickness of the hepatoduodenal ligament above the upper horizontal part of the duodenum and is called pars supraduodenaiis. The portal vein collects blood from unpaired organs of the abdominal cavity: intestines, spleen, stomach, and is formed from three large trunks: the splenic vein, superior mesenteric and inferior mesenteric veins.

At the portal of the liver, the hepatic artery, portal vein and bile duct form the portal triad - Glisson's triad.

Liver yen, vv. hepatic i, collect from the central lobular veins and ultimately form three large trunks, the right, left and middle hepatic veins, which exit the liver tissue on the posterior surface at the upper edge (caval porta hepatis) and flow into the inferior cava vein at the level of its passage through the diaphragm.


Structure of the liver, segmental division. The division of the liver into right, left, caudate and quadrate lobes, accepted in classical anatomy, is unsuitable for surgery, since the external boundaries of the lobes do not correspond to the internal architectonics of the vascular and biliary systems. The modern division of the liver into segments is based on the principle of coincidence of the course of the first-order branches of the three liver systems: portal, arterial and biliary, as well as the location of the main venous trunks of the liver. The portal vein, hepatic artery and bile ducts are called the portal system (portal triad, Gleason's triad). The course of all elements of the portal system inside the liver is relatively the same. The hepatic veins are called the caval system. The course of the vessels and bile ducts of the liver portal system does not coincide with the direction of the vessels of the caval system. Therefore, portal division of the liver is now more common. The division of the liver along the portal system is of greater importance for the surgeon, since it is with the isolation and ligation of the vascular-secretory elements in the portal of the liver that the resection of this organ begins. However, when performing resection based on division of the liver along the portal system, it is necessary to take into account the course of the hepatic veins (caval system) so as not to disrupt the venous outflow. In clinical practice, the scheme of segmental division of the liver according to Quino, 1957 has become widespread (Fig. 127). According to this scheme, the liver is divided into two lobes, five sectors and eight segments. The segments are arranged in radii around the gate. A lobe, sector and segment is a section of the liver that has separate blood supply, bile outflow, innervation and lymph circulation. The lobes, sectors and segments of the liver are separated from each other by four main slits.

Embryogenesis of the peritoneum

As a result of embryonic development, the secondary body cavity is generally divided into a number of separate closed serous cavities: this is how 2 pleural cavities and 1 pericardial cavity are formed in the chest cavity; in the abdominal cavity - the peritoneal cavity.

In men, there is another serous cavity between the membranes of the testicle.

All these cavities are hermetically sealed, with the exception of women - with the help of the fallopian tubes during ovulation and menstruation, the abdominal cavity communicates with the environment.

In this lecture we will touch on the structure of such a serous membrane as the peritoneum.

PERITONEUM (peritoneum) is a serous membrane that is divided into parietal and visceral layers that cover the walls and internal organs of the abdominal cavity.

The visceral layer of peritoneum covers the internal organs located in the abdominal cavity. There are several types of relationship of an organ to the peritoneum or coverage of an organ by the peritoneum.

If the organ is covered with peritoneum on all sides, then it is said to be in an intraperitoneal position (for example, small intestine, stomach, spleen, etc.). If the organ is covered by peritoneum on three sides, then the mesoperitoneal position is meant (for example, the liver, ascending and descending colon). If the organ is covered by peritoneum on one side, then this is an extraperitoneal or retroperitoneal position (for example, kidneys, lower third of the rectum, etc.).

The parietal peritoneum lines the walls of the abdominal cavity. In this case, it is necessary to define the abdominal cavity.

ABDOMINAL CAVITY is the space of the body located below the diaphragm and filled with internal organs, mainly the digestive and genitourinary systems.

The abdominal cavity has walls:

    the top one is the diaphragm

    lower - pelvic diaphragm

    posterior - spinal column and posterior abdominal wall.

    anterolateral - these are the abdominal muscles: rectus, external and internal oblique and transverse.

The parietal layer lines these walls of the abdominal cavity, and the visceral layer covers the internal organs located in it, and between the visceral and parietal layers of the peritoneum a narrow gap is formed - the PERITONEAL CAVITY.

Thus, to summarize what has been said, it should be noted that a person has several separate serous cavities, including the peritoneal cavity, lined with serous membranes.

Speaking about serous membranes, one cannot help but touch upon their functional significance.

FUNCTIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PERITONEUM

1. Serous membranes reduce friction of internal organs against each other, because they secrete fluid that lubricates the contact surfaces.

2. The serous membrane has a transuding and exuding function. The peritoneum secretes up to 70 liters of fluid per day, and all this fluid is absorbed by the peritoneum itself during the day. Different parts of the peritoneum can perform one of the above functions. Thus, the diaphragmatic peritoneum has a predominantly absorptive function, the serous cover of the small intestine has a transudative ability, the neutral areas include the serous cover of the anterolateral wall of the abdominal cavity, and the serous cover of the stomach.

3. Serous membranes are characterized by a protective function, because they are unique barriers in the body: serous-hemolymphatic barrier (for example, peritoneum, pleura, pericardium), serous-hemolymphatic barrier (for example, greater omentum). A large number of phagocytes are localized in the serous membranes.

4 The peritoneum has great regenerative abilities: the damaged area of ​​the serous membrane is first covered with a thin layer of fibrin, and then simultaneously throughout the damaged area with mesothelium.

5. Under the influence of external irritations, not only the functions, but also the morphology of the serous cover change: adhesions appear - i.e. serous membranes are characterized by delimiting abilities; but at the same time, adhesions can lead to a number of pathological conditions requiring repeated surgical interventions. And, despite the high level of development of surgical technology, intraperitoneal adhesions are frequent complications, which forced us to distinguish this disease as a separate nosological unit - adhesive disease.

6. Serous membranes are the basis in which the vascular bed, lymphatic vessels and a huge number of nerve elements lie.

Thus, the serous membrane is a powerful receptor field: the maximum concentration of nerve elements, and in particular receptors, per unit area of ​​the serous membrane is called the REFLEXOGENIC ZONE. Such zones include the umbilical region, the ileocecal angle with the vermiform appendix.

7. The total area of ​​the peritoneum is about 2 square meters. meters and is equal to the area of ​​the skin.

8. The peritoneum performs a fixation function (attaches organs and fixes them, returns them to their original position after displacement).

That. serous membranes perform several functions:

    protective,

    trophic,

    fixation

    delimiting, etc.

HISTOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF THE PERITONEUM

The histological structure of the peritoneum deserves attention: let's consider it using the example of the parietal layer.

If we rely on the new nomenclature, then there are three main morphologically distinct layers in the peritoneum:

Mesothelium

Limiting basement membrane

Own record.

According to the old nomenclature, the peritoneum is divided into six layers.

1. Mesothelium - is part of the serous integument. There are two views on the nature of mesothelium: some classify mesothelium as epithelial tissue, others consider mesothelium to be a type of connective tissue. (This is a single-layer row of cells that allows serous fluid to pass through; the mesothelium can be sloughed off and has a high degree of reactivity).

2. Adjacent to the mesothelium is a layer of fibrillar fibers - the basement membrane - it has the appearance of either a continuous layer or a fenestrated structure. The basement membrane prevents the formation of folds on the surface of the mesothelium.

3. The superficial fibrous collagen layer consists of unidirectional bundles of collagen fibers. This layer helps stretch the peritoneum.

4. The superficial non-oriented elastic network consists of thin and thick elastic fibers without a specific orientation. This network promotes the gradual unraveling of folds when the peritoneum is stretched.

5. The deep oriented elastic network is built from parallel oriented bundles. This network is adapted to stretch the peritoneum in only one direction.

6. The deep lattice collagen elastic layer reaches a thickness of 50-60 microns. The basis of the layer is made up of collagen and elastic fibers. This layer of the peritoneum contains blood and lymphatic vessels, as well as nerve elements.

In some areas of the parietal peritoneum, this layer may be adjacent to a layer of loose retroperitoneal tissue.

Thus, the peritoneum has a complex structure and consists of 6 morphologically distinct layers, the histological features of which determine the function of this cover.

As already noted, the peritoneum covers the walls and organs of the abdominal cavity. When moving from the wall to parts of the intestinal tube, serous folds are formed, called mesenteriums, and when moving from the wall to an organ, or organ to organ (parenchymal), ligaments are formed.

The peritoneal ligaments are PRIMARY and SECONDARY.

PRIMARY originated from the ventral and dorsal mesenteries and consist of two layers: lig. hepatoduodenal, lig. falciforme hepatis

SECONDARY ligaments are formed during the transition of the peritoneum from organ to organ: lig. coronarium hepatis, lig. hepatorenal.

For the convenience of studying and assimilating topography, syntopy, holotopy of the abdominal organs, and features of the course of the peritoneum, the abdominal cavity is divided into floors:

    TOP FLOOR - it contains the liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, adrenal glands, pancreas.

    MIDDLE FLOOR - loops of the small and large intestines, kidneys, and large vessels are located there.

    LOWER FLOOR - organs of the urinary system (bladder), the final section of the digestive tube (rectum), internal genital organs.

TOP FLOOR limited:

    at the top is the diaphragm,

    in front - parietal peritoneum of the anterior abdominal wall,

    behind - the posterior abdominal wall,

    below - colon transversum and its mesentery.

In the upper floor of the abdominal cavity there are three bags:

    bursa pregastrica

    bursa omentalis

BURSA OMENTALIS

Has 6 walls:

1. The upper wall is the caudate lobe of the liver.

2. The lower wall is the mesentery of the transverse colon.

3. Left wall - lig. gastroliennale, lig. phrenicolenale.

4. Right - foramen epiploicum (Winslov's hole).

5. Posterior - parietal peritoneum, covering the pancreas, inferior vena cava, aorta.

6. Front wall

    upper third - omentum minus: lig. hepatoduodenal, lig. hepatogastricum.

    middle third - posterior wall of the stomach

    lower third - lig. gastrocolicum

The foramen epiploicum is located on the right wall of the omental bursa. Using this hole, the omental bursa communicates with the general cavity of the peritoneum; when examining the abdominal organs, surgeons through this hole perform a digital examination of the omental bursa.

WALLS OF THE WINSLOW HOLE

In front - limited lig.hepatoduodenales in this ligament from right to left lies the ductus choledochus, v. portae, a. hepatica propria.

At the back is the parietal peritoneum, covering v. cava inferior., lig hepatorenale.

Above is the caudate lobe of the liver.

Below - pars superior duodeni.

INUrsa hepatica

At the top is the diaphragm, lig. сoronarium, lig triangulare.

On the left is the falciform ligament of the liver.

In front and to the right is the parietal peritoneum of the anterior wall.

At the back are the right kidney and adrenal gland.

Contains the right lobe of the liver.

It communicates with the omental bursa and with the right lateral canal (located in the middle floor of the abdominal cavity)

Bursapregatrica

Covers the left lobe of the liver.

    Top - limited by the diaphragm;

    In front - the parietal peritoneum, covering the anterior abdominal wall;

    Left - lig. gastroliennale, lig. phrenicolenale;

    Behind is the stomach, its front wall.

This bag communicates with the peritoneal cavity. The greater omentum originates in the upper floor, consists of 4 layers of peritoneum and sometimes reaches the pubic bones.

MIDDLE FLOOR abdominal cavity is limited

at the top mesocolon transversum

on the sides and in front by the parietal peritoneum to linea bispinata (outside) or linea terminalis (inside).

It contains loops of the small and large intestines, covered with an omentum.

In the middle floor, between the mesenteries and the intestine itself, there are two mesenteric sinuses: right and left.

The right mesenteric sinus is limited by:

    on the right - the ascending colon;

    on the left and below - the mesentery of the small intestine;

    above - the mesentery of the transverse colon.

It is closed, abscesses do not spread.

The left mesenteric sinus is limited:

    on the right and above - the mesentery of the small intestine;

    on the left - the descending colon;

    from below - passes into the pelvic cavity.

In addition to the sinuses, there are also two side canals in the middle floor.

The RIGHT LATERAL CANAL is located between the ascending colon (left) and the parietal peritoneum of the anterolateral walls of the abdominal cavity (right).

The LEFT LATERAL CANAL is located respectively between the descending colon (right) and the parietal peritoneum (left).

Two upper floor bursae communicate with the right lateral canal: b.omentalis, b. hepatica; and it ends in the right iliac fossa.

The left channel begins blindly: the ligament lig is located at the top. рhrenicocolicum, and below it opens into the pelvic cavity.

In addition to the sinuses and canals, a number of peritoneal depressions are noted on the posterior parietal layer of the peritoneum:

They are of practical importance: sometimes they serve as the exit site for a retroperitoneal hernia.

LOWER FLOOR.

Descending into the lower floor of the abdominal cavity, the peritoneum covers the pelvic organs: the bladder and rectum; in women - the uterus and fallopian tubes. When moving from organ to organ, the peritoneum forms depressions or pockets:

In women, excavation rectouterina has practical significance; on the vaginal side it corresponds to its posterior fornix. When performing a puncture of the posterior vaginal fornix, they end up in the excavatio rectouterina - during pathological processes in the abdominal cavity (for example, ectopic pregnancy), blood accumulates there.

The abdominal cavity is the part of the abdominal cavity covered by the parietal peritoneum. In men it is closed, but in women it communicates with the uterine cavity through the openings of the fallopian tubes.

The visceral layer of the peritoneum covers the organs located in the abdominal cavity. Organs can be covered by peritoneum on all sides (intraperitoneal), on three sides (mesoperitoneal) and extraperitoneally (on one side or lying extraperitoneally). Organs covered intraperitoneally by the peritoneum have significant mobility, which is increased by the mesentery or ligaments. The displacement of the mesoperitoneal organs is insignificant (Fig. 123).

A special feature of the peritoneum is that the mesothelium (the first layer of the peritoneum) forms a smooth surface that allows organs to glide during peristalsis and changes in volume. Under normal conditions, the peritoneal cavity contains a minimal amount of clear serous fluid, which moisturizes the surface of the peritoneum and fills the gaps between organs and walls. Movements of organs in relation to each other and to the abdominal wall occur easily and without friction due to the fact that all contacting surfaces are smooth and moist. There is an omentum between the anterior wall of the abdomen and the internal organs. "

In the area of ​​the diaphragm, the peritoneum becomes thinner at the site of the “suction hatches.” The lumen of the hatches changes during the respiratory movements of the diaphragm, which ensures their suction effect. “Sucking hatches” are also present in the peritoneum of the rectovesical recess in men and the rectouterine recess in women.


There are areas of the peritoneum that transudate, absorb, and are indifferent to the abdominal fluid. Transuding areas are the small intestine and broad ligaments of the uterus. The suction parts of the parietal peritoneum are the diaphragm and the iliac fossae.

The abdominal cavity is divided by the mesentery of the transverse colon into two floors: upper and lower, which communicate with each other from the front through the preepiploic fissure and from the sides through the right and left lateral canals. In addition, the peritoneal floor of the small pelvis is distinguished

The upper floor of the abdominal cavity is located between the diaphragm and the mesentery of the transverse colon. It contains the stomach, spleen and mesoperitoneally covered intraperitoneally, the liver, gall bladder and the upper part of the duodenum. The pancreas belongs to the upper floor of the abdominal cavity, although it lies retroperitoneally, and part of the head is located below the root of the mesentery of the transverse colon. The listed organs, their ligaments and the mesentery of the transverse colon limit separate spaces, crevices and bags in the upper floor of the abdominal cavity.

Top floor bags. The space between the diaphragm and the liver is divided by the falciform ligament into two sections: left and right.

The right hepatic bursa, or bursa hepatica dextra, is the gap between the right lobe of the liver and the diaphragm. It is bounded above by the diaphragm, below by the right lobe of the liver, behind by the right part of the coronary ligament and on the left by the falciform ligament of the liver. It includes the right subphrenic space and the subhepatic space.


The right subphrenic space is located most deeply between the posterior surface of the right lobe of the liver, the diaphragm and the coronary ligament. It is in the subdiaphragmatic space, as in the deepest place of the hepatic bursa, that fluid poured into the abdominal cavity can be retained. The subdiaphragmatic space in most cases directly passes into the right lateral canal of the lower floor of the abdominal cavity. Therefore, inflammatory exudate from the right iliac fossa can freely move towards the subphrenic space and lead to the formation of an encysted abscess, called a subphrenic abscess. It most often develops as a complication of a perforated ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, destructive appendicitis, cholecystitis.

The subhepatic space is the lower part of the i fava of the hepatic bursa and is located between the lower surface of the right lobe of the liver, the transverse colon and its mesentery, to the right of the porta hepatis and the hepatoduodenal ligament. In the subhepatic space, anterior and posterior sections are distinguished. Almost the entire peritoneal surface of the gallbladder and the upper outer surface of the duodenum face the anterior section of this space. The posterior section, located at the posterior edge of the liver, is the least accessible part of the subhepatic space - a depression called the renal-hepatic recess. Abscesses that arise as a result of perforation of a duodenal ulcer or purulent cholecystitis are more often located in the anterior section, while the spread of a periappendiceal abscess occurs mainly in the posterior section of the subhepatic space.

The left subphrenic space consists of widely communicating bursae: the left hepatic and pregastric.

The left hepatic bursa is a gap between the left lobe of the liver and the diaphragm, bounded on the right by the falciform ligament of the liver, posteriorly by the left part of the coronary ligament and the left triangular ligament of the liver. This bursa has a much smaller width and depth than the right hepatic bursa, and is usually not distinguished as a special part of the subdiaphragmatic space.


The pregastric bursa is bounded posteriorly by the lesser omentum and stomach, the upper left lobe of the liver, the diaphragm, anteriorly by the anterior abdominal wall, on the right by the falciform and round ligaments of the liver, on the left the pregastric bursa has no pronounced border. In the external posterior part of the left subdiaphragmatic space there is the spleen with ligaments: gastrosplenic and phrenic-splenic. () from the left lateral canal it is separated by the left diaphragmatic-colic ligament. This ligament is often wide, it covers the lower pole of the spleen and is called the splenic suspensory ligament. Thus, the bed of the spleen is well delimited from the left lateral canal; it is a blind recess (saccus caecus lienalis). The left subdiaphragmatic space plays a much smaller role than the right as a site for the formation of abscesses. Rarely developing in this space, purulent processes tend to spread between the left lobe of the liver and the stomach down to the transverse colon or to the left to the blind sac of the spleen. The communication between the right hepatic and pregastric bursae is carried out through a narrow gap between the liver and the pyloric part of the stomach, in front of the lesser omentum.

The omental bursa (bursa omentalis) is a large closed slit-like space of the abdominal cavity, the most isolated and deep.

The anterior wall of the omental bursa is formed by the lesser omentum, the posterior wall of the stomach and the gastrocolic ligament (the initial part of the greater omentum). The lesser omentum is three ligaments that pass into one another: the hepatoduodenal, hepatogastric and phrenic-gastric. The lower wall of the omental bursa is formed by the transverse colon and its mesentery. From above, the omental bursa is limited by the caudate lobe of the liver and the diaphragm, the posterior wall is formed by the parietal peritoneum, covering the front of the pancreas, aorta, inferior vena cava, upper pole of the left kidney with the adrenal gland, on the left it is limited by the spleen with the gastrosplenic ligament, and the right wall is not expressed.

In the omental bursa there are depressions, or inversions: the upper one is located behind the caudate lobe of the liver and reaches the diaphragm, the lower one is in the region of the mesentery of the transverse colon and the splenic one.

Entry into the omental bursa is possible only through the omental foramen, limited anteriorly by the hepatoduodenal ligament, posteriorly by the hepatorenal ligament, in the thickness of which lies the inferior vena cava, superiorly by the caudate lobe of the liver, and inferiorly by the nephroduodenal ligament.


The omental opening allows one or two fingers to pass through, but if adhesions form, it can be closed and then the omental bursa is a completely isolated space. The contents of the stomach can accumulate in the omental bursa when an ulcer is perforated;
purulent processes occur as a result of inflammatory diseases of the pancreas.

There are three operational approaches to the omental bursa for examination, revision of organs and operations on them (Fig. 124):

1. Through the gastrocolic ligament, which is most preferable, since it can be cut widely. Used to examine the posterior wall of the stomach and pancreas for inflammation and injury.

2. Through the hole in the mesentery of the transverse colon in an avascular place, you can examine the cavity of the omental bursa and perform a gastrointestinal anastomosis.

3. Access through the hepatogastric ligament is more convenient when the stomach prolapses. Used during operations on the celiac artery.

Canals and sinuses of the lower floor. The lower floor of the abdominal cavity occupies the space between the mesentery of the transverse colon and the small pelvis. The ascending and descending colons and the root of the mesentery of the small intestine divide the lower floor of the abdominal cavity into four sections: the right and left lateral canals and the right and left (mesenteric sinuses (Fig. 125).

The right lateral canal is located between the ascending colon and the right lateral wall of the abdomen. At the top, the canal passes into the sub-shaphragmatic space, at the bottom - into the right iliac fossa, and then into the small pelvis.

The left lateral canal is limited by the descending colon and the left lateral wall of the abdomen and passes into
left iliac region. The deepest in a horizontal position are the upper sections of the canals.


The right mesenteric sinus is bounded on the right by the ascending colon, above by the mesentery of the transverse colon, and on the left and below by the mesentery of the small intestine. This sinus is largely delimited from other parts of the abdominal cavity. In a horizontal position, the upper right angle of the sinus is the deepest.

The left mesenteric sinus is larger in size than the right one. It is bounded above by the mesentery of the transverse colon, on the left by the descending colon and sigmoid mesentery, and on the right by the mesentery of the small intestine. The sinus is not limited from below and directly communicates with the pelvic cavity. In a horizontal position, the superior angle of the sinus is the deepest. Both mesenteric sinuses communicate with each other through the gap between the mesentery of the transverse colon and the initial part of the jejunum. Inflammatory exudate from the mesenteric sinuses can spread into the lateral canals of the abdominal cavity. The left mesenteric sinus is larger than the right one, and due to the absence of anatomical restrictions in its lower parts, suppurative processes developing in the sinus tend to descend into the pelvic cavity much more often than from the right mesenteric sinus.

Along with the tendency for inflammatory exudates to spread throughout all the crevices of the abdominal cavity, there are anatomical prerequisites for the formation of encysted peritonitis both in the lateral canals and in the mesenteric sinuses, especially in the right one, as it is more closed. During operations on the abdominal organs, especially with peritonitis, it is important to divert the loops of the small intestine first to the left, then to the right and remove pus and blood from the mesenteric sinuses to prevent the formation of encysted abscesses.

Abdominal pockets. The peritoneum, moving from organ to organ, forms ligaments, next to which there are depressions called pockets (recessus).

Recessus duodenojejunalis is formed at the junction of the duodenum into the jejunum, recessus iliocaecalis superior is formed at the junction of the ileum into the cecum in the area of ​​the upper ileocecal angle, recessus iliocaecalis inferior is formed in the area of ​​the lower ileo-cecal angle, recessus retrocaecalis is located behind the cecum, recessus intersigmoideus is a funnel-shaped depression between the mesentery of the sigmoid colon and the parietal peritoneum, its beginning faces the left lateral canal.

Pockets of the peritoneum can become a site for the formation of internal hernias. Peritoneal pockets with internal hernias can reach very large sizes. Internal hernias can become strangulated and cause intestinal obstruction.

Topographic anatomy of the stomach. The stomach is the main organ of the digestive system and is a mystical pouch-shaped extension of the digestive tract, located between the esophagus and the duodenum.


Holotopia. The stomach is projected onto the anterior abdominal wall in the left hypochondrium and its own epigastric region.

Departments. The inlet of the stomach is called cardiac, and the outlet is called pyloric. A perpendicular descending from the esophagus to the greater curvature divides the stomach into the cardiac section, consisting of the fundus and body, and the pyloric section, consisting of the vestibule and the pyloric canal. The stomach is divided into greater and lesser curvature, anterior and posterior surfaces.

Syntopy. The concept of “syntopic fields of the stomach” is distinguished. These are the places where the stomach comes into contact with neighboring organs. Syntopic fields of the stomach must be taken into account in case of combined injuries, penetration of ulcers and germination of stomach tumors. On the anterior wall of the stomach, three syntopic fields are distinguished: hepatic, diaphragmatic and free, which is in contact with the anterior wall of the abdomen. This field is also called the gastric triangle. This site is usually used for gastrotomies and gastrostomies. The size of the gastric triangle depends on the filling of the stomach. On the posterior wall of the stomach, five syntopic fields are distinguished: splenic, renal, adrenal, pancreatic and intestinal-colon.

Position. In the abdominal cavity, the stomach occupies a central position in the upper floor. Most of the stomach is located in the left subphrenic space, limiting the pregastric bursa behind and the omental bursa in front. The position of the stomach corresponds to the degree of inclination of the longitudinal axis of the stomach. Shevkunenko, in accordance with the location of the axis of the stomach, identified three types of positions: vertical (hook shape), horizontal (horn shape), oblique. It is believed that the position of the stomach is directly dependent on the body type.

Relation to the peritoneum. The stomach occupies an intraperitoneal position. At the junction of the layers of the peritoneum on the lesser and greater curvature, gastric ligaments are formed. The ligaments of the stomach are divided into superficial and deep. Superficial ligaments:

1) gastrocolic (part of the greater omentum);

2) gastrosplenic, short gastric vessels pass through it, the splenic vessels are located behind the ligament;

3) gastrodiaphragmatic;

4) diaphragmatic-esophageal, the esophageal branch from the left gastric artery passes through it;

5) hepatogastric, in which the left gastric artery and vein run along the lesser curvature;

6) hepatic-pyloric - continuation of the hepato-/gastric ligament. It has the shape of a narrow strip stretched between the gates of the liver and the pylorus, it forms an intermediate part between the hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal glands and serves as the right border when dissecting the gastric ligaments.

Deep ligaments:

1) gastro-pancreatic (at the transition of the peritoneum from the upper edge of the pancreas to the posterior surface of the stomach);

2) with the pyloric pancreas (between the pyloric otic region of the stomach and the right part of the body of the pancreas);

3) lateral diaphragmatic-pipiectal.

Blood supply to the stomach. The stomach is surrounded by a ring

widely anastomosing vessels giving off intramural branches and forming a dense network in the submucosa (Fig. 126). The source of blood supply is the celiac trunk, from which the left gastric artery departs, going directly to the lesser curvature of the stomach. The right gastric artery departs from the common hepatic artery, which anastomoses with the left one on the lesser curvature of the stomach, forming the arterial arch of the lesser curvature. The left and right gastroepiploic arteries form the arc of the greater curvature, and there are also short gastric arteries.


Innervation of the stomach. The stomach has a complex nervous apparatus. The main sources of innervation are the vagus nerves, the celiac plexus and its derivatives: gastric, hepatic, splenic, superior mesenteric plexuses. The vagus nerves, branching on the esophagus, form the esophageal plexus, and the first branches of both nerves mix and connect many times. Moving from the esophagus to the stomach, the branches of the esophageal plexus are concentrated into several trunks: the left one goes to the front surface of the stomach, and the right one goes to the back surface of the stomach, giving off branches to the liver, solar plexus, kidney and other organs. From the left vagus nerve a long branch of Latarget departs to the pyloric part of the stomach. The vagus nerves are a complex conduction system that supplies nerve fibers for various functional purposes to the stomach and other organs. There are a large number of connections between the left and right nerves in the chest and abdominal cavities, where fibers are exchanged. Therefore, we cannot speak of exclusive innervation by the left vagus nerve of the anterior wall of the stomach, and by the right - the posterior wall. The right vagus nerve often runs in the form of a single trunk, while the left one forms from one to four branches, more often there are two.


Lymph nodes of the gastrointestinal tract. Regional lymph nodes of the stomach are located along the lesser and greater curvature, as well as along the left gastric, common hepatic, splenic and celiac arteries. According to A.V. Melnikov (1960), lymph drainage from the stomach occurs through four main collectors (pools), each of which includes 4 stages.

The first lymphatic drainage collector collects lymph from the pyloroangral region of the stomach, adjacent to the greater curvature. The 11th stage is the lymph nodes located in the thickness of the gastrocolic ligament along the greater curvature, near the pylorus, the second stage is the lymph nodes along the edge of the head of the pancreas under and behind the pylorus, the third stage is the lymph nodes located in the thickness of the mesentery of the small intestine , and the fourth - retroperitoneal para-aortic lymph nodes.

In the 7/ lymphatic drainage collector, lymph flows from the part of the pyloric-antrum adjacent to the lesser curvature, and partly from the body of the stomach. The first stage is the retropyloric lymph nodes, the second is the lymph nodes in the lesser omentum in the dietary part of the lesser curvature, in the area of ​​the pylorus and duodenum, immediately behind the pylorus, the third stage is the lymph nodes located in the thickness of the hepatic gastric ligament. A V. Melnikov considered the fourth stage to be the lymph nodes at the porta hepatis.

The III collector collects lymph from the body of the stomach and the lesser curvature, the adjacent sections of the anterior and posterior walls, the walls, the medial part of the fornix and the abdominal esophagus. The first stage is lymph nodes located in the form of a chain along the lesser curvature in the tissue of the lesser omentum. The upper nodes of this chain are called paracardial; in case of cardia cancer, they are affected by metastases first. Lymph nodes along the left gastric vessels, in the thickness of the gastropancreatic ligament, are the second stage. Stage I - lymph nodes along the upper edge of the pancreas and in the area of ​​its tail. The fourth stage is lymph nodes in the paraesophageal tissue above and below the diaphragm.

In the IV collector, lymph flows from the vertical part of the greater curvature of the stomach, the adjacent anterior and posterior walls and a significant part of the gastric vault. Lymph nodes located in the upper left part of the gastrocolic ligament are the first stage. The second stage is the lymph nodes along the short arteries of the stomach, the third stage is the lymph nodes in the hilum of the spleen. A.V. Melnikov considered the fourth stage to be damage to the spleen.

Knowledge of the anatomy of regional lymph nodes of all collectors is extremely important for proper gastric surgery in compliance with oncological principles.

Topographic anatomy of the duodenum. The duodenum (duodenum) is the initial section of the small intestine. In front it is covered by the right lobe of the liver and the mesentery of the transverse colon; it itself covers the head of the pancreas, thus the duodenum lies deep and does not directly adjoin the anterior abdominal wall anywhere. The duodenum has four parts. It consists of an upper horizontal, descending, lower horizontal and ascending parts. Knowledge of the syntopy of the duodenum helps to explain the direction of ulcer penetration, tumor germination and the spread of phlegmon during retroperitoneal rupture of the organ.

The upper part of the duodenum, 4-5 cm long, is located between the pylorus of the stomach and the superior flexure of the duodenum and runs to the right and back along the right surface of the spine, passing into the descending part. This is the most mobile part of the intestine, covered on all sides by the peritoneum. All other parts of the intestine are covered with peritoneum only in front. In the initial part of the duodenum there is an extension called the duodenal bulb. Upper part of the duodenum from above; it comes into contact with the quadrate lobe of the liver, in front - with the gallbladder, in the back - with the portal vein, gastroduodenal artery, and common bile duct. The head of the pancreas is adjacent to the intestine from below and from the inside.


The descending part of the duodenum, 10–2 cm long, is located between flexura duodeni superior and flexura duodeni inferior. This part of the duodenum is inactive and is covered with peritoneum only in front. The descending part of the duodenum borders in front with the right lobe of the liver, the mesentery of the transverse colon, in the back with the gate of the right kidney, the renal pedicle, and the inferior vena cava. On the outside is the ascending part and the hepatic flexure of the colon, on the inside is the head of the pancreas. The common bile duct and pancreatic duct open into the descending part of the duodenum. They pierce the posterior mesenteric wall of the descending part of the duodenum in its middle section and open on the major (Vaterian) duodenal papilla. Above it there may be a non-permanent small duodenal papilla, on which the accessory duct of the pancreas opens.

From the lower bend of the duodenum begins 1" and its horizontal part, 2 to 6 cm long, covered in front by the peritoneum. The horizontal (lower) part lies at the level of the III and IV lumbar vertebrae, below the mesentery of the transverse colon, partially behind the root of the mesentery of the small intestine The first oriental part of the duodenum passes into the ascending part, 6-10 cm long. The ascending part ends with a duodenojejunal flexure, covered with peritoneum in front and on the sides. The following organs adjoin these parts of the duodenum: on top - the head and body of the subjejunal gland, in front - the transverse colon, loops of the racing intestines, the root of the mesentery of the small intestines and the superior mesenteric vessels. In the back - the right lumbar muscle, the inferior vena cava, the aorta, the left renal vein.

Tie the duodenum. The hepatoduodenal ligament is located between the porta hepatis and the initial Hi (fracture of the upper part of the duodenum. It fixes the initial part of the intestine and limits the omental foramen< переди. В связке располагаются: общий желчный проток справа, | обственная печеночная артерия слева, а между ними и сзади - поротная вена. Двенадцатиперстно-почечная связка в виде склад- Mi брюшины натянута между наружным краем нисходящей части шенадцатиперстной кишки и правой почкой, где она переходит в париетальную брюшину, расположенную кпереди от почки. Она 01 раничивает сальниковое отверстие снизу. Большую роль в фик- i.iiшп двенадцатиперстно-тощекишечного изгиба играет связка I рейтца (lig. duodenojejunalis).

In the upper part, the duodenum is covered on both sides by the peritoneum. The descending and horizontal parts of the radius are located retroperitoneally, the ascending part occupies an intraperitoneal position.

Blood supply to the duodenum (see Fig. 126) I a" comes from the celiac trunk system and the superior mesenteric irgern. The superior and inferior pancreatic duodenal arteries have anterior and posterior branches. As a result of anastomosis between them, anterior and posterior arterial arches are formed, which go between the concave semicircle of the duodenum and the head of the pancreas, which makes it impossible to separate them during surgery and forces them to be removed as a single block - pancreatoduodenal resection, performed, for example, for cancer of the papilla of Vater or a tumor of the head of the pancreas.

Large glands of the digestive tract

Topographic anatomy of the liver. The liver is one of the large glands of the digestive tract. The liver is distinguished by four morphofunctional features: 1) it is the largest organ; 2) has three circulatory systems: arterial, venous and portal; 3) all substances entering the gastrointestinal tract pass through it; 4) serves as a huge blood depot; 5) participates in all types of metabolism, synthesizes albumins, globulins, factors of the blood coagulation system, plays an important role in carbohydrate and fat metabolism and detoxification of the body, plays an important role in lymph production and lymph circulation.

Hayutopia. The liver of an adult is located in the right hypochondrium, the epigastric region itself, and partially in the left hypochondrium. The projection of the liver onto the anterior abdominal wall has the form of a triangle and can be constructed using three points: the upper point is on the right at the level of the 5th costal cartilage along the midclavicular line, the lower point is the 10th intercostal space along the midaxillary line, on the left - at the level of the 6th th costal cartilage along the parasternal line. The lower border of the liver coincides with the costal arch. From behind, the liver is projected onto the chest wall, to the right of the 10-11th thoracic vertebrae.

Position of the liver. The liver in relation to the frontal plane can be: 1) with a dorsopetal position, the diaphragmatic surface of the liver is thrown back and its anterior edge can be located above the costal arch; 2) in the ventropetal position, the diaphragmatic surface faces forward, and the visceral surface faces back. In the ventropetal position, surgical access to the lower surface of the liver is difficult, and in the dorsopetal position, it is difficult to access the upper surface.


The liver can occupy a right-sided position, then its right lobe is highly developed, and the size of the left lobe is reduced. () the organ occupies an almost vertical position, sometimes located only in the right half of the abdominal cavity. The left-sided position of the liver is characterized by the location of the organ in the horizontal plane and with a well-developed left lobe, which in some cases can extend beyond the spleen.

Liver syntopy. The diaphragmatic surface of the right lobe of the liver borders on the pleural cavity, the left lobe - on the pericardium, from which it is separated by the diaphragm. The visceral surface of the liver comes into contact with various organs, from which depressions are formed on the surface of the liver. The left lobe of the liver borders the lower end of the esophagus and the stomach. The pyloric part of the stomach is adjacent to the quadrate lobe. The right lobe of the liver in the area adjacent to the neck of the gallbladder borders on the upper horizontal part of the duodenum. 11more directly in contact with the transverse colon and the hepatic curvature of the colon. Posterior to this depression, the surface of the right lobe of the liver borders the right kidney and adrenal gland. Liver syntopy must be taken into account when assessing possible variants of combined injuries to the abdominal and thoracic cavities.

The hilum of the liver is an anatomical formation that makes up the transverse and left longitudinal grooves of the visceral surface of the liver. Here, blood vessels and nerves enter the liver and bile ducts and lymphatic vessels exit. At the porta hepatis, vessels and ducts are accessible to surgical treatment, since they are located superficially, outside the parenchyma of the organ. The shape of the gate is of practical importance: open, closed and intermediate. When the porta hepatis is open, the transverse groove communicates with the left sagittal and accessory grooves, thereby creating favorable conditions for access to the lobar and segmental ducts. With a closed form of the porta hepatis, there is no communication with the left sagittal groove, there are no additional grooves, the size of the porta is reduced, therefore it is impossible to isolate segmental vessels and ducts in the porta hepatis without dissecting its parenchyma.


The porta hepatis can be located in the middle between the edges of the liver or shifted to its posterior or anterior edge. If the gate is displaced posteriorly, more difficult conditions are created for prompt access to the vessels and ducts of the portal system when performing liver resections and operations on the biliary tract.

The relationship to the peritoneum is mesoperitoneal, i.e. the liver is covered by peritoneum on three sides. The posterior surface of the liver is not covered by peritoneum; it is called the extraperitoneal field of the liver or pars m.ida.

The ligamentous apparatus of the liver is usually divided into true ligaments and peritoneal ligaments. True ligaments: 1) coronary, firmly fixing the postero-superior surface of the liver to the diaphragm, turning into triangular ligaments at the edges; 2) crescent-shaped, located in the sagittal plane on the border of the right and left lobes and turning into a steep ligament, which goes to the umbilicus and contains a partially obliterated umbilical vein. From the visceral surface of the liver, the peritoneal ligaments are directed down to the organs: hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal. The hepatoduodenal ligament (ligament of life) is considered the most important, since it contains the common bile duct (on the right), the common hepatic artery (on the left) and the portal vein, and lies between them and posteriorly. Clamping of the hepatoduodenal ligament with fingers or a special instrument is used to temporarily stop bleeding from the liver.

Liver fixation apparatus. The liver is kept in the correct anatomical position by: 1) extraperitoneal field (part of the posterior surface of the liver not covered by peritoneum); 2) the inferior vena cava, which lies on the posterior surface of the liver and receives the hepatic veins. Above the liver, the vein is fixed in the opening of the diaphragm, below it is firmly connected to the spine; 3) intra-abdominal pressure, muscle tone of the anterior abdominal wall and the suction action of the diaphragm; 4) liver ligaments.

Blood supply to the liver. Two vessels bring blood to the liver: the hepatic artery and the portal vein, 25 and 75%, respectively. The arterial supply to the liver comes from the common hepatic artery, which, after leaving the gastroduodenal artery, is called the proper hepatic artery and is divided into the right and left hepatic arteries.

Portal vein, v. porta, forms behind the head of the pancreas. This is the first section of the vein, which is called the pars pancreatica. The second section of the portal vein is located behind the upper horizontal part of the duodenum and winds around the pars retroduodenalis. The third section of the vein is located in the thickness of the hepatoduodenal ligament above the upper horizontal part of the duodenum and is called pars supraduodenaiis. The portal vein collects blood from unpaired organs of the abdominal cavity: intestines, spleen, stomach, and is formed from three large trunks: the splenic vein, superior mesenteric and inferior mesenteric veins.

At the portal of the liver, the hepatic artery, portal vein and bile duct form the portal triad - Glisson's triad.

Liver yen, vv. hepatic i, collect from the central lobular veins and ultimately form three large trunks, the right, left and middle hepatic veins, which exit the liver tissue on the posterior surface at the upper edge (caval porta hepatis) and flow into the inferior cava vein at the level of its passage through the diaphragm.


Structure of the liver, segmental division. The division of the liver into right, left, caudate and quadrate lobes, accepted in classical anatomy, is unsuitable for surgery, since the external boundaries of the lobes do not correspond to the internal architectonics of the vascular and biliary systems. The modern division of the liver into segments is based on the principle of coincidence of the course of the first-order branches of the three liver systems: portal, arterial and biliary, as well as the location of the main venous trunks of the liver. The portal vein, hepatic artery and bile ducts are called the portal system (portal triad, Gleason's triad). The course of all elements of the portal system inside the liver is relatively the same. The hepatic veins are called the caval system. The course of the vessels and bile ducts of the liver portal system does not coincide with the direction of the vessels of the caval system. Therefore, portal division of the liver is now more common. The division of the liver along the portal system is of greater importance for the surgeon, since it is with the isolation and ligation of the vascular-secretory elements in the portal of the liver that the resection of this organ begins. However, when performing resection based on division of the liver along the portal system, it is necessary to take into account the course of the hepatic veins (caval system) so as not to disrupt the venous outflow. In clinical practice, the scheme of segmental division of the liver according to Quino, 1957 has become widespread (Fig. 127). According to this scheme, the liver is divided into two lobes, five sectors and eight segments. The segments are arranged in radii around the gate. A lobe, sector and segment is a section of the liver that has separate blood supply, bile outflow, innervation and lymph circulation. The lobes, sectors and segments of the liver are separated from each other by four main slits.

Inside the abdominal cavity there is a cavity of the peritoneum (cavum peritonei), which is a serous sac formed by the continuous transition of the peritoneum from the walls to the organs, from organs to organs and consisting of a set of slits connected to each other and located between the parietal and visceral layers of the peritoneum. Parietal is the peritoneum that covers the walls of the abdominal cavity, visceral isabdominal organs. In men, the peritoneal cavity is closed; in women, through the openings of the fallopian tubes, the uterine cavity and the vagina, it communicates with the external environment.

Abdominal organs, covered with peritoneum on all sides, except for the attachment points of the mesenteries and ligaments (stomach, mesenteric small intestine, transverse colon, etc.), are located intraperitoneally in relation to the peritoneum. Organs covered by the peritoneum on three sides (liver, ascending and descending colons) are located mesoperitoneally in relation to it and protrude into the peritoneal cavity. The organs lying in the retroperitoneal space (pancreas, kidneys, abdominal aorta, etc.) are located extraperitoneally, more precisely retroperitoneally, in relation to the peritoneum, and are covered with peritoneum mainly in front.

The abdominal cavity is divided into two floors by the transverse colon and its mesentery - upper and lower.

The upper floor of the abdominal cavity contains the liver, stomach with the abdominal part of the esophagus, spleen, and upper part of the duodenum. The lower floor houses the small and large intestines. Organs lying in the retroperitoneal space can be located above the level of attachment of the mesocolon transversum (adrenal glands, the beginning of the abdominal aorta, the celiac trunk, the site of formation of the portal vein, the celiac plexus), above and below this level (kidneys, pancreas, duodenum, aorta, lower vena cava, superior mesenteric artery and vein) and below the level of attachment of the mesentery of the transverse colon (ureters, inferior mesenteric artery and vein, iliac arteries and veins).

Both floors of the abdominal cavity, forming a single whole, are connected in front by a gap (spatiuin preepiploicum), located between the omentum and the inner surface of the anterior wall of the abdomen, and on the sides - through lateral canals.
If, after removing the anterior wall of the abdomen, you look at the upper floor of the abdominal cavity, you will see that in the epigastric region, from under the costal arches and the xiphoid process, the anterior-inferior edge of the left and right lobes of the liver protrudes. At the level of the intersection of the costal arch with the outer edge of the right rectus abdominis muscle, the bottom of the gallbladder is located. Below the liver, the lower part of the lesser omentum is sometimes visible. Here lie the upper part of the duodenum, the pyloric part and the lower right part of the body of the stomach. The greater omentum hangs down from the greater curvature of the stomach. The bulk of the liver, part of the body and fundus of the stomach, the abdominal part of the esophagus and the spleen are located under the diaphragm behind the lower anterior chest.


When the peritoneum passes from the walls of the abdominal cavity to the organs of the abdominal cavity and from organ to organ, it forms folds and ligaments.

Rice. 120. View of the right half of the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity on the median sagittal cut (1/8).

From the upper surface of the liver to the diaphragm and the anterior abdominal wall, the peritoneum passes in the form of a thin oblique lig. falciforme hepatis, running almost from the navel upward to the level of the posterior surface of the liver, where it continues in front of the inferior vena cava into the coronary ligament of the liver. In the lower part of the falciform ligament is located lig. teres hepatis (obliterated v. umbilicalis). Lig. coronarium hepatis, passing from the liver to the diaphragm and the inferior vena cava, limits the posterior part of the liver, not covered by the peritoneum (extraperitoneal subphrenic space). Along the edges the coronary ligament passes into the ligg. triangularia dextrum and sinistrum. From the gate of the liver the peritoneum is in the form of lig. hepatogastricum and lig. hepatoduodenale, which together make up the lesser omentum (omentum minus), passes to the lesser curvature of the stomach and the upper part of the duodenum. Lig. hepatorenale goes from the posterior part of the margo inferior of the right lobe of the liver to the upper pole of the right kidney.

Covering the stomach from the front and back, the visceral layers of the peritoneum unite at its greater curvature and, bypassing the transverse colon, descend down in the form of the greater omentum (omentum majus).

At the free edge of the latter, the leaves fold back and return upward to the transverse colon, where along the taenia omentalis they fuse with it, and above - with the anterosuperior surface of the mesocolon transversum, at the base of which the upper of the leaves continues into the parietal peritoneum of the posterior wall of the cavum peritonei. Below the transverse colon in newborns, between the descending and ascending leaves of the greater omentum, there is a cavity, which then becomes overgrown, and the greater omentum in adults is 4 fused layers of visceral peritoneum. Above the transverse colon, the greater omentum consists of. 2 leaves and, since it connects the greater curvature of the stomach with the transverse colon, this section is called lig. gastrocolicum. Up and to the left, the gastrocolic ligament continues into the lig. gastrolineale, which is located between the fundus of the stomach and the hilum of the spleen. The outer layer of the peritoneum of this ligament covers the spleen and, meeting on the other side of the hilum of the spleen with the inner layer, continues as lig. phrenicolenale. Even higher, the gastrosplenic ligament passes into the lig. gastrophrenicum, which connects the cardiac part of the stomach with the diaphragm.

Omental bag(bursaomentalis) is located behind the lesser omentum and stomach, which serves as the anterior wall of the bag. The other walls of the bursa are: at the back - the parietal peritoneum, covering the front of the pancreas, inferior vena cava, left adrenal gland, part of the upper pole of the left kidney, diaphragm, celiac trunk and its branches; above - the caudate lobe of the liver and the fornix, which forms the parietal peritoneum of the posterior wall of the bursa during the transition to the liver (part of the coronary ligament), esophagus and stomach (lig. gastrophrenicum); below - the transverse colon and its mesentery; on the left - the gate of the spleen and lig. gastroliennale and lig. phrenicolenale; on the right is a fold of peritoneum formed during the transition of the parietal peritoneum of the posterior wall to the duodenum and gastrocolic ligament. In the upper part of the right wall there is an omental (Winslov) opening (foramen epiploicum), connecting the cavity of the bursa with the other, larger part of the upper floor of the peritoneal cavity. The hole, which allows 1-2 fingers to pass through in the absence of adhesions, is limited: in front by the hepatoduodenal ligament, behind by the parietal peritoneum covering the inferior vena cava, above by the caudate lobe of the liver and the vault, which forms the peritoneum at the transition from the lig. hepatoduodenale on the liver, from below - by the upper edge of the upper part of the duodenum.

Rice. 121. Upper floor of the abdominal cavity. Front view.
The anterior abdominal wall, anterior chest and diaphragm were removed. The diaphragm is pulled up.

On the posterior wall of the omental bursa there are folds of the peritoneum (plicae gastro-pancreaticae), of which the left, upper, formed as a result of protrusion of the peritoneum over the left gastric artery, is directed to the lesser curvature of the stomach, and the right, lower, formed as a result of protrusion of the peritoneum over the common hepatic artery, goes to the hepatoduodenal ligament. The part of the omental bursa between the folds and the omental foramen is called the vestibule (vestibulum bursae omentalis). Above the vestibule, behind the caudate lobe of the liver, is the recessus superior omentalis; downwards, between the posterior surface of the stomach and the gastrocolic ligament in front and the omental tubercle of the pancreas and the mesocolon transversum in the back, there is the recessus inferior omentalis. To the left of the vestibule lies the recessus lienalis.

In addition to the omental bursa, in the upper floor of the abdominal cavity there are also bursa hepatica and bursa pregastica. The hepatic bursa is located between the diaphragm above and the flexura coli dextra and the upper part of the duodenum below. The bursa contains the right lobe of the liver. In front, it is limited by the anterior abdominal wall, covered with the parietal peritoneum. Between the diaphragmatic surface of the right lobe of the liver and the diaphragm there is a slit-like right subphrenic space, and between its visceral surface and the right flexure of the colon and the upper part of the duodenum there is a subhepatic slit-like space.

Both of these gaps, as well as the gap between the right lobe of the liver and the anterior abdominal wall, make up the hepatic bursa. In a downward direction, the bag passes into the right lateral canal and the preepiploic fissure; in the medial direction through the omental foramen it communicates with the bursa omentalis.

Same as in fig. 121. In addition, the stomach, the middle part of the transverse colon and its mesenteries, and part of the lesser omentum were removed.

The pregastric bursa is located between the diaphragm at the top and the anterior wall of the stomach and flexura coli sinistra and lig. phrenicocolicum below. In front it is limited by the anterior abdominal wall, covered with the parietal peritoneum. The bag contains the left lobe of the liver and the spleen. Inferiorly, the pregastric bursa passes into the left lateral canal and the preepiploic fissure. Both bags are separated by the falciform ligament of the liver. Below the liver, the bags communicate with each other through a gap located between the liver and lig. teres hepatis in front and above and the pyloric part of the stomach and the lesser omentum behind and below. Taken together, the three bursae described above form an intraperitoneal subphrenic space, within which abscesses can develop as complications after perforation of gastric and duodenal ulcers, after appendicitis, paracolitis, paranephritis, etc.

The lower floor of the abdominal cavity is located below the transverse colon and its mesentery and is more or less closed in front by the greater omentum, hanging from the greater curvature of the stomach. After the greater omentum, and with it the transverse colon, is retracted upward, the lower floor of the abdominal cavity opens completely. It is made of loops of the small intestine, along the edges and behind which are located the ascending and descending parts of the colon. The jejunum and ileum, the appendix, the cecum, the transverse colon and the sigmoid colon, in addition to the places where the mesenteries are fixed to them, are covered with peritoneum on all sides. The ascending and descending parts of the colon are covered with peritoneum, usually on three sides, except for the posterior surface. If you take the loops of the small intestine to the side or remove them, then between the colon ascendens and colon descendens and the side walls of the abdomen, the right and left lateral canals become clearly visible, connecting the upper floor of the abdominal cavity with the iliac fossae. The left lateral canal, thanks to the constantly present lig. phrenicocolicum, is more isolated from the upper floor of the abdominal cavity than the right one, where the same ligament is absent in most cases. However, the right lateral canal at the level of the cecum may be interrupted to some extent by the plicae caecales. Through the lateral canals (especially the right one), when a gastric or duodenal ulcer is perforated, gastric and intestinal contents can penetrate into the iliac fossae, and from there into the small pelvis. Pus and blood can spread through the side canals in both directions.

Rice. 123. Topography of the organs of the thoracic and abdominal cavities on a horizontal cut. View from above.
The cut was made at the level of the X thoracic vertebra.

Inward from the ascending and descending colon, to the right and left of the root of the mesentery of the small intestine, the right and left mesenteric sinuses are located. The right mesenteric sinus (sinus mesentericus dexter) is smaller in area than the left and is limited: on the right - by the ascending colon, on the left and below - by the root of the mesentery of the small intestine, on top - by the mesentery of the transverse colon. The left mesenteric sinus (sinus mesentericus sinister) is bounded: above by the mesentery of the transverse colon, on the right by the root of the mesentery of the small intestine, on the left by the descending colon, and on the left and below by the mesentery of the sigmoid colon. The left sinus is more extensive and somewhat elongated in an oblique direction, from left to right and from top to bottom.

To the right of the rectum, the left sinus directly passes into the pelvic cavity. The sinuses communicate with each other at the top by a gap between the mesocolon transversum and the beginning of the jejunum.

The deepest are the lateral sections of the sinuses at the medial edges of the ascending and descending colon.

However, the deepest areas on the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity, along with the posterior sections of the right and left subphrenic spaces, are the lateral canals. In them, just like in the mesenteric sinuses and in the pelvic cavity, free fluid (pus, blood, transudate) can accumulate.

Peritoneal pockets can be the site of internal hernias. The most constant are those located in the right iliac fossa, above and below the place where the ileum flows into the caecum, recessus ileocaecalis superior and recessus ileocaecalis inferior; behind the caecum there is recessus retrocaecalis. No less often there are pockets of the peritoneum between the flexura duodenojejunalis and plica duodenojejunalis - recessus duodenalis superior and at the base of the mesocolon sigmoideum - recessus intersigmoideus.
