Allows access to porta hepatis
29
Q

Greater and lesser omental sac

A

Greater - below stomach, anterior to bowel

Lesser - posterior and superior to stomach

30
Q

Morrison’s Pouch

A

Hepatorenal recess, potential space between liver and right kidney
Lowest point in RUQ when supine, frequent site of metastasis from ovarian or appendiceal cancer

31
Q

Hepatorenal Recess

A

Morrison’s Pouch, potential space between liver and right kidney
Lowest point in RUQ when supine, frequent site of metastasis from ovarian or appendiceal cancer

32
Q

Gerota’s fascia

A

Renal fascia

33
Q

Ligament of Treitz

A

Suspensory ligament of the duodenum

Suspends the duodenojejunal junction to the Celiac trunk

34
Q

White Line of Toldt

A

Lateral reflection of posterior parietal peritoneum over the mesentery of the ascending and descending colon. Avascular plane for incision, mobilization of colon.

35
Q

Lumbar plexus nerve roots, and what nerves does it give rise to?

A

L1-4

Genitofemoral, lateral femoral cutaneous, femoral

36
Q

Genitofemoral nerve roots, function, and injury

A

L1-2
Sensory to upper anterior thigh, mons, and labia majora
Injury via retractor placement or transection

37
Q

Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve roots, function, injury

A

L2-3
Sensory to anterior lateral thigh
Injury via compression due to hip hyperflexion

38
Q

Femoral nerve roots, function, injury

A

L3-4
Motor function to knee extensors, sensory to upper inner thigh
Injury via retractor placement, positioning intraop, child birth, inguinal LND –> absent knee jerk reflex

39
Q

Obturator nerve root, function, injury

A

L3-4
Motor adduction of thigh, sensory to medial distal thigh
Injury via transection, sling placement, or pelvic LND

40
Q

Sacral nerve plexus nerve roots, and what nerves does it give rise to?

A

L4-5, S1-4

Superior and inferior gluteal, posterior femoral cutaneous, sciatic, pudendal

41
Q

Sciatic nerve root, function, path, gives rise to?

A

L4-S3
Motor and sensory components
Exits pelvis through greater sciatic foramen inferior to the piriformis, courses along posterior thigh to popliteal fossa
Terminates into tibial and common fibular (peroneal) nerves

42
Q

Tibial nerve function

A

Motor and sensory to posterior compartment of the leg and foot

43
Q

Common fibular (peroneal) nerve function and injury

A

Motor and sensory to anterior/lateral compartments of the leg and foot
