Winter showed a postpartum uterus with a complete rupture in its lower segment. The rupture passed very obliquely through the anterior wall of the uterus and extended from the ring of contraction almost to the external uterine pharynx. The peritoneum was separated above the gap to the line of tight attachment in such a way that a connection with the abdominal cavity 10 cm long was formed. When opened: the uterus was lying in a strong bend forward; bowel loops and the anterior abdominal wall delimited the rupture site from the abdominal cavity; all intestines were very red and covered with a light coating; in the abdominal cavity there were about one to one and a half liters of liquid and coagulated blood.

The extraperitoneal space extends between peritoneum and investing fascia of muscles of anterior, lateral and posterior abdominal and pelvic walls, and circumferentially surrounds the abdominal cavity. The retroperitoneum, which is confined to the posterior and lateral abdominal and pelvic wall, may be divided into three surgicoanatomic zones: centromedial, lateral (right and left), and pelvic. The preperitoneal space is confined to the anterior abdominal wall and the subperitoneal extraperitoneal space to the pelvis. In the extraperitoneal tissue, condensation fascias delineate peri- and parasplanchnic spaces. The former are between organs and condensation fasciae, the latter between this fascia and investing fascia of neighboring muscles of the wall. Thus, perirenal space is encircled by renal fascia, and pararenal is exterior to renal fascia. Similarly for the urinary bladder, paravesical space is between the umbilical prevesical fascia and fascia of the pelvic wall muscles—the prevesical space is its anterior part, between transversalis and umbilical prevesical fascia. For the rectum, the “mesorectum” describes the extraperitoneal tissue bound by the mesorectal condensation fascia, and the pararectal space is between the latter and the muscles of the pelvic wall. Perisplanchnic spaces are closed, except for neurovascular pedicles. Prevesical and pararectal (presacral) and posterior pararenal spaces are in the same anatomical level and communicate. Anterior to the anterior layer of the renal fascia, the anterior interfascial plane (superimposed and fused mesenteries of pancreas, duodenum, and colon) permits communication across the midline. Thus parasplanchnic extraperitoneal spaces of abdomen and pelvis communicate with each other and across the midline.

Synovial Sarcomas (synoviomas) are the fourth most common malignant soft-tissue tumours, and typically develop in para-articular locations of the extremities in close association with joint capsules, tendon sheaths, bursae and fascial structures. Other less common sites include the head and neck, abdominal wall, intra-abdominal cavity, and mediastinum. In this article, an interesting and rare case of a 25-year-old man with left upper abdominal lump is reported which was subsequently diagnosed as biphasic synovial sarcoma (spindle cell variety) of anterior abdominal wall.

Objective Peritoneal biopsies are considered useful for gaining a better understanding of the pathophysiology of the peritoneum during experimental peritoneal dialysis (PD). Different peritoneal tissue samples (i.e., abdominal wall, liver, diaphragm, intestine, and omentum) may be used, but there can be artifacts due to peritoneal tissue processing. Aim To investigate differences in peritoneal membranes from different parts of the peritoneum, and also 2 different fixatives, in experimental PD and a peritonitis model in rats. Methods Peritoneal tissues from the anterior abdominal wall, liver, omentum, and intestine were taken from each of 3 groups of animals: sham, experimental PD, and peritonitis model. Tissue samples were immediately fixed with 4% formaldehyde and routinely processed for histological examination. Two parietal peritoneal tissue samples according to longitudinal and horizontal sections of anterior wall inner abdominal muscle were also taken. All samples were immediately fixed with 4% formaldehyde and B5 fixative (B5), and then routinely processed for histological examination. Results In all groups, histopathological findings were more commonly seen in the abdominal wall samples. There were no changes observed in peritoneal membranes other than those of anterior abdominal wall samples from both sham and PD model rats. However, there was a significant difference between anterior and posterior facets of liver in the peritonitis model. Furthermore, the antimesenteric site of intestinal peritoneum was less affected than the mesenteric site. There were no significant histopathological differences between B5 and 4% formaldehyde fixation ( p > 0.05). Conclusion Our results suggest that peritoneum obtained from the anterior abdominal wall is the most affected area and therefore the most suitable site to investigate peritoneal changes in the experimental rat PD model. There were no significant differences between fixation with 4% formaldehyde and B5 solution. Abdominal wall samples should be of the same direction of inner abdominal muscle, that is, horizontal sectioning should be used for measurements of the submesothelial area.

Background. Despite the existence of numerous studies on the optimal delivery mode in gastroschisis (GS), their results remain controversial. Therefore, the presented study is focused on establishing the delivery mode impact on GS anatomy in newborns.Research objective. The study was conducted to determine the impact of the delivery mode on the features of GS anatomy in newborns.Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of medical records of 135 pregnant women and 135 their newborns with GS born between 1987 and 2020 was conducted. All newborns are divided into 3 groups. Newborns delivered by caesarean section are included in group I (n = 80); children born exclusively naturally are included in groups II (n = 25) and III (n = 30). The following anatomical features of GS in newborns were studied: localization and size of the anterior abdominal wall defect, confluence with the abdominal cavity, the nature and frequency of the eventrated organs.Results. The size of the anterior abdominal wall defect was significantly smaller in children with GS delivered by caesarean section (3.02 ± 0.58 cm; p < 0.01) than in children born naturally (4.17 ± 0.3 cm in group II, 4.7 ± 0.29 cm in group III). The frequency of retroperitoneal organs eventration was significantly less (20.0%; p < 0.01) in caesarean delivery grope than in II and III groups (52% and 63.3%, respectively). There was no significant difference in frequency of other abdominal organs eventration, localization of the anterior abdominal wall defect and confluence with the abdominal cavity. Level of evidence – III. Conclusions. The mode of delivery affects the size of abdominal wall defect and frequency of the abdominal organs eventration in newborns with GS.

Our experimental study shows a morphological response of the anterior abdominal wall to implantation of a combined (bovine pericardium graft and polyester mesh) hernia prosthesis. For this purpose, fifteen chinchillas were operated on. A combined prosthesis was implanted intra-abdominally, where the pericardium graft adjoined the internal organs with the smooth side, while the synthetic material was facing the peritoneum. Morphological and morphometric assessment of the tissue in the area of implantation of the prosthesis was carried out. Morphology of tissues samples was evaluated in 2 weeks, in 1 month and in 2 months after surgery. Our study revealed that the combined prosthesis implanted in the anterior abdominal wall causes an acute inflammatory response, which progresses within a month after the surgery. However, the signs of inflammation reduced at the end of the second month of the experiment. A new connective tissue grew actively into the implant from the side of the polyester mesh. The pericardium graft adjacent to the abdominal cavity with the smooth side did not cause formation of connective tissue. Thus, the combined hernia prosthesis has protected the abdominal cavity from adhesions in the postoperative period.

On April 19, 1901, at a meeting of the St. Petersburg Obstetric and Gynecological Society, Professor Dmitry Oskarovich Ott for the first time made a report on the method he developed for illuminating the abdominal cavity when performing operations with a vaginal access. He called the proposed method ventroscopy (ventroscopia; Latin venter stomach + Greek skopeo consider). The latter used terms such as celioscopy, abdominoscopy, pelvioscopy, etc. At present, it is customary to call the examination of the abdominal organs using an endoscope inserted through the anterior abdominal wall, the method of laparoscopy, and when the endoscope is introduced through the posterior vaginal fornix - cultoscopy.

Aim. To determine the mean values of the anterior abdominal wall thickness and abdominal cavity depth for men and women with different types of constitution and reveal the mechanisms, allowing the surgeon to predict these parameters in the preoperative period. Materials and methods. One hundred twenty male and female computer tomograms of the abdominal cavity were studied. Results. The anterior abdominal wall thickness and abdominal cavity depth values for men and women with different types of constitution at different levels of measurement were determined. The depth of laparotomy wound was found to be dependent on the distance between the anterior upper iliac spines. Conclusions. The gender features of the anterior abdominal wall thickness and abdominal cavity depth were revealed. There were determined the coefficients, permitting to predict the depth of laparotomy wound in the preoperative period.

Introduction. Ventral hernia represents a problem for the surgeon and patients alike. eTEP repair is a technique that is minimally invasive, provides lower overall complication rates, decreased wound complications and the recurrence rates and shortens the length of stay in the hospital. Case. We present a case of a 48 year old patient who was admitted to our hospital for elective treatment of recurrent umbilical hernia. The patient had umbilical hernia repair 4 years ago, suture repair without mesh placement was performed according to the information given by the patient. On inspection there is visible supraumbillical scar, 12 cm in length with hernia bulging under the scar which is partially reducible on pressure. Discussion. The eTEP technique is closest to ideal because the abdominal cavity is not penetrated, is lessening the risk of visceral lesions and trocar site hernias, allows local or regional anesthesia, gives unsurpassed views of inguinal region and hernias and reproduces the technique of Rives-Stoppa. In favor to overcome the limitations deriving from the limited surgical field and restricted port set up, this technique has been modified based on the normal anatomy of the abdominal wall naming it depen­dently of the extension of the dissection and the location of the hernia. Conclusion. The extended-TEP (e-TEP) technique is based on the anatomical principle that the extraperitoneal space can be reached from almost anywhere in the anterior abdominal wall. It provides the most of the benefits for the patients but also requires great surgical skill and understanding of the anatomy of the anterior abdominal wall.
