Abdominal Wall- Real Flashcards
what layers are reconstructed when closing paramedian incision above arcuate line
peritoneum, transversalis fascia, rectus muscle, rectus sheath, superficial fascia, skin
what layers are reconstructed when closing paramedian below the arcuate line
peritoneum, transversalis fascia, posteiror rectus sheath, rectus muscle, anterior rectus sheath, superficial fascia, skin
what lymph nodes are affected by melanoma on th left lateral region of the abdominal wall
parasternal nodes
what lymph nodes are affected by testicular carcninoma
external iliac nodes
what is the advantage of a paramedian and midline incision compared to a pararectus incision
paramedian- don’t compromise the nerve and blood supply to the rectus muscle as is done with pararectus
what complications go with severing/compressing a nerve on the anterior abdominal wall? (iliohypogastric or ilioinguinal)
muscle weakens which could lead to a hernia
what is the abdominal wall
skin to transversals fascia
what is the abdominal cavity
trasversali fascia down
what is the transversals fascia
deep fascia of transversalus abdomens, psoas, diaphragm, iliac us, and pelvic musculature
what layers are in the abdominal wall
skin
2 layers of superficial fascia (campers and scarpas)
3 muscle layers (internal and external oblique, transversalus abdomins)
what are the areas in the abdominal cavity
subserous fascia
retroperitoneal space
peritoneum
periotoneal cavity
where does the skin over the scrotum and labia major come from
abdominal wall skin
describe camper’s fascia
superficial layer of superficial layer of the anteriolateral abdominal wall
fat layer
where is liposuction done
camper’s fascia
describe the scarpa’s fascia
deep layer of superficial layer of the anteirolateral abdominal wall
no fat
tough fibrous layer that attaches to the fascia kata, ishiopubic rami, and ishial tuberosity
what layer are subcutaneous sutures put into
scarpa’s fascia
what is collie’s fascia
scarpa’s fascia in the perineum
defines the area of blood/urine extravasation after penial bulb injury
what is darts fascia
fusion of camper’s and scarpa’s fascia in the scrotum
fat of camper’s is lost, but stays in labia
what is the purpose of the scrotum and how is it accomplished
decrease the temperature of the testis by smooth muscle controlling its position relative to the body
what are the abdominal muscles
external oblique
internal oblique
transversus abdominis
where is the deep fascia
both sides of each of the abdominal muscles
what are the functions of the abdominal muscles
support and protect abdominal viscera
increase intraabdominal pressure for things
trunk motor control
what special structures are formed by the abdominal muscles
rectus sheath
inguinal canal
spermatic cord
what is formed by the external oblique aponeurosis
inguinal ligament anterior layer of rectus sheath superficial inguinal ring pectinate ligament lacunar ligament external spermatic fascia
what and where is the inguinal ligament
thickening of the inferior edge of the external oblique muscle, spanning between the ischium spine and pubic tubercle
forms the floor of the inguinal canal
what and where is the superficial inguinal ring
V shaped opening in this aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle
spermatic cord passes through it
superior and lateral to the pubic tubercle
what and where is the pectineal ligament
extension of the lacunar ligament, lateral to the pubis (formed by external oblique aponeurosis)
what and where is the lacunar ligament
triangular ligament between the pubis and inguinal ligament that forms the medial floor of the inguinal canal
extension- pectineal ligament
what forms the superior and posterior wall of inguinal canal
internal oblique
what is the origin of the cremaster muscle
internal oblique muscle
what is the purpose and innervation of the cremaster muscle
covers testis and elevates
innervated by femoral nerve
what structures are formed from the aponeurosis of the internal oblique muscle
rectus sheath
conjoint tendon
how does the internal oblique aponeurosis form the rectus sheath
above arcuate line- splints into anterior and posterior layers
below arcuate line- all anteiror
what is the conjoint tendon
internal oblique and transversus abdominis aponeuroses merge to form the posterior wall of the inguinal canal
what happens if the conjoint tendon is weakened?
direct inguinal hernia
what part of the inguinal canal does the transverses abdomins form
superior and posterior walls
what structures does the transversus abdominis aponeurosis form
conjoint tendon rectus sheath trasversali fascia deep inguinal ring internal spermatic fascia
how does the transversus abdominis form the rectus sheath
above arcuate line- posterior
below arcuate line- anterior
what and where is the deep inguinal ring
internal opening of inguinal canal, medial to the inferior epigastric vessels
where are the superior and inferior epigastric arteries
posterior to the rectus abdominis
where is the arcuate line
midway between the umbilicus and the pubic symphysis
what forms the rectus sheath above the arcuate line
anterior- external oblique and anterior internal oblique
posterior- posterior internal oblique and transversus abdominis
what forms the rectus sheath below the arcuate line
anterior- all 3 muscle aponeuroses
posterior- transversalis fascia
why are there more layers below the arcuate line than above
support the abdomen
