Particularly hazardous is the downward traction of the phrenicocolic ligament (this maneuver may be necessary for the mobilization of splenic flexure). [ citation needed ] This ligament marks the site where the colon exits the peritoneal cavity: the phrenicocolic ligament is thus an important point of intersection of abdominal anatomy and ...
Ladd's bands, sometimes called bands of Ladd, are fibrous stalks of peritoneal tissue that attach the cecum to the retroperitoneum in the right lower quadrant (RLQ). Obstructing Ladd's Bands are associated with malrotation of the intestine , a developmental disorder in which the cecum is found in the right upper quadrant (RUQ), instead of its ...
Peritoneal ligaments are folds of peritoneum that are used to connect viscera to viscera or the abdominal wall. There are multiple named ligaments that usually are named in accordance with what they are. Gastrocolic ligament, connects the stomach and the colon. [1] Splenocolic ligament, connects the spleen and the colon. Gastrosplenic ligament
Ligamentous laxity or ligament laxity can appear in a variety of ways and levels of severity. In most people, ligaments (which are the tissues that connect bones to each other) are naturally tight in such a way that the joints are restricted to 'normal' ranges of motion. This creates normal joint stability.
The splenorenal ligament (or lienorenal ligament) (from the left kidney to the spleen) is occasionally considered part of the greater omentum. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] It is derived from the peritoneum , where the wall of the general peritoneal cavity comes into contact with the lesser sac between the left kidney and the spleen ; the splenic artery and vein ...
Bile, pus, or blood released from viscera anywhere along its length may run along the paracolic gutter, and collect in sites quite remote from the organ of origin. [2] In supine patients, infected fluid from the right iliac fossa may ascend in the paracolic gutter to enter the lesser sac.
An absent or displaced ligament of Treitz; Fibrous peritoneal bands called bands of Ladd running across the vertical portion of the duodenum; An unusually narrow, stalk-like mesentery; The position of the intestines, narrow mesentery and Ladd's bands can contribute to several severe gastrointestinal conditions.
The most common cause of compartment syndrome in children is traumatic injury. [77] In children <10 years of age, the cause is usually vascular injury or infection. [78] In children >14 years of age, the cause is usually due to trauma or surgical positioning. [78] Treatment for compartment syndrome in children is the same as adults. [72]
