Retroperitoneal structures

GI - no mesentery


Non-GI


Injuries cause blood or gas accumulation in Retroperitoneal space

RetroP structures list

Suprarenal glands = adrenal


Aorta + IVC


Duodenum - 2nd to 4th


Pancreas - except tail


Ureters


Colon - asc and desc


Kidneys


Esophagus - lower 2/3


Rectum - partially

SAD PUCKER

Falciform L

Liver to ant ab wall


Derivative of ventral mesentery


Contains ligamentum teres hepatis = derivative of fetal umbilical vein

Hepatoduodenal L

Liver to duodenum


Contains portal triad = proper hepatic A, portal vein, common bile duct


Pringle maneuver = ligament may be compressed between thumb and index finger placed in omental foramen to control bleeding


Borders omental foramen

Gastrohepatic L

Liver to lesser curvature of stomach


Contains gastric arteries


Separates greater and lesser sacs on R


May be cut in surgery to access lesser sac

Gastrocolic L

Greater curvature to transverse colon


Contains gastroepiploic A


Part of greater omentum

Gastrosplenic L

Greater curvature and spleen


Contains short gastrics, left gastroepiploic vessels


Separates greater and lesser sacs on L

Splenorenal L

Spleen to posterior ab wall


Contains splenic A and V, tail of pancreas

Layers of gut wall

Mucosa


Sub mucosa


Muscularis externa


Serosa

Mucosa

Epithelium - absorption


Lamina propria - support


Muscularis mucosa - motility


Erosions in mucosa only

Submucosa

Includes Meissner plexus

Muscularis externa

Includes myenteric nerve plexus = Auerbach

Serosa

Called serosa when intraperitoneal


Called adventitia when Retroperitoneal

Basal electric rhythm

Stomach - 3/min


Duodenum - 12/min


Ileum - 8-9/min

Esophagus

Nonkeratinised


Stratified


Squamous epithelium

Stomach

Gastric glands

Duodenum

Villi + microvilli - increase absorptive surface


Brunner glands - Submucosa


Crypts of Lieberkuhn

Jejunum

Plicae circulares


Crypts of Lieberkuhn

Ileum

Peyer patches - lamina propria, Submucosa


Plicae circulares - in proximal ileum


Crypts of Lieberkuhn


Largest no of goblet cells in SI

SMA syndrome

Occurs when transverse portion/3rd segment of duodenum is entrapped between SMA and aorta


=> intestinal obstruction

Abdominal aorta branches

Supplying GI = branch anteriorly


Non-GI = branch laterally

Foregut supply

Celiac A


Vagus paraS


T12/L1


Pharynx to duodenum


Liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen

Midgut supply

SMA


Vagus paras


L1

Hindgut

IMA


Pelvic paraS


L3


Splenic flexure = watershed region

Celiac trunk branches

Common hepatic


Splenic


Left gastric


Main BS of stomach

Collateral arterial circulation

Compensate when abdominal aorta blocked


Superior epigastric + inf epigastric


Sup pancreaticduodenal + inf PD


Middle colic + left colic


Superior rectal + middle and inf rectal

Pectinate line

Where endoderm of Hindgut meets ectoderm

Above pectinate line

AdenoCa


Internal haemorrhoids - not painful due to visceral innervation


Superior rectal A <- IMA


Superior rectal vein -> inf mesenteric vein -> portal system


Deep LN

Below pectinate line

External haemorrhoids - painful - somatic innervation


Anal fissures - tear in mucosa - pain on excretion, blood on paper, posteriorly, poorly perfused area


SCC


Inf rectal A <- internal pudendal A


Inf rectal V -> int pudendal V -> int iliac V -> IVC

Femoral region organisation

Lateral to medial


Nerve


Artery


Vein


Empty space


Lymphatics

NAVEL

Femoral triangle

Femoral A, V, nerve

Femoral sheath

Fascial tube - 3/4 cm below inguinal L


Femoral V, A, canal - deep LN


NOT FEMORAL NERVE

Diaphragmatic hernia

Ab structures enter thorax


Infants - detective development of pleuroperitoneal membrane


Hiatal most common - stomach herniates up through esophageal hiatus of D


Sliding hiatal H = gastroesophageal Jxn displaced up - hourglass stomach


Paraesophageal H = gastroE Jxn normal - fundus protrudes through thorax

Indirect inguinal hernia

Goes thro internal/deep inguinal ring, external/superficial inguinal ring


Into scrotum


Enters inguinal ring lateral to epigastric A


Infants - failure of processus vaginalis to close


More common in males


Follows path of testes descent


Covered by all 3 layers of spermatic fascia

Direct inguinal hernia

Through inguinal triangle = Hesselbach


Directly through ab wall medial to inf epigastric A


Trough external/superficial ring only


Covered by external spermatic fascia


Older men

Medial to inf epiG A - direct


Lateral - indirect

Femoral H

Below inguinal L through femoral canal


Below and lateral to public tubercle


Females


Leading cause of bowel incarceration

Hesselbach triangle

Inguinal triangle


Inf epigastric vessels


Lateral border of rectus abdominis


Inguinal L
