5. • The peritoneal cavity
– Greater
• Supramesocolic
• Inframesocolic
– Lesser
• The peritoneal ligaments, mesentery, and
omentum
6. The peritoneal cavity
• potential space between the parietal and
visceral peritoneum and contains a film of
fluid that lubricates the surface of the
peritoneum and facilitates free movements of
the viscera.
• Is a completely closed sac in the male but is
open in the female through the uterine tubes,
uterus, and vagina. It is divided into the lesser
and greater sacs.
7. Definitions
• Ligament
– Two folds of peritoneum
– Supporting structures
• Mesentery
– Two folds of peritoneum
– Connecting to the posterior abdominal wall
• Omentum
– Connecting the stomach to other organs
8.
9. • The greater omentum
– connects the stomach
to the colon
• The lesser omentum
– connects the stomach
to the liver
Omentums
13. • Gastrohepatic ligament:
– connects the left lobe of the liver to the lesser
curvature of the stomach
• Hepatoduodenal ligament:
– free edge of the omentum, which contains the
portal vein, hepatic artery and common bile duct
– CBD, hepatic gasteic vv, portal vein
14.
15. lesser omentum
• coronary veins (ที่ dilate เป็น varices ได้)
• lymph nodes (ที่โตได้จาก gastric carcinoma and
lymphoma)
• part of anterior wall of lesser sac
16. Lesser sac
• lesser sac เป็นส่วนหนึ่งในช่องท้อง ที่อยู่ระหว่าง stomach
and the pancreas
• ต่อกับภายนอกคือ greater sac ผ่านทาง foramen of
Winslow (epiploic foramen)
• aorta + celiac a อยู่ posteror to lesser sac
• ความผิดปกติใน lesser sac จะเกิดจาก organ ข้างเคียง
(pancreas, stomach) มากกว่าจากที่อื่น ปกติจะ
collapsed ยกเว้นที่ fluid fill
17. Lesser sac
• (a) superior recess, which lies behind the
stomach, lesser omentum, and left lobe of the
liver;
• (b) inferior recess, which lies behind the
stomach, extending into the layers of the
greater omentum
• (c) splenic recess, which extends to the left at
the hilus of the spleen.

30. Mesenteries
• Double folds of the peritoneum
• connect to the posterior abdominal wall
– The small bowel mesentery
– The transverse mesocolon
– The sigmoid mesentery (or mesosigmoid)

35. Right peritoneal spaces
• Right subphrenic space
• Right subhepatic space: anterior and posterior
• Bare area
- Right ant. Subhep. Space
Connecting to epiploic foramen
- posterior subhepatic space (Morison pouch) –
dependent part
36. • Right subphrenic space
• Right subhepatic space:
– Anterior right subhepatic space
– Posterior right subhepatic space
• Hepatorenal fossa (Morrison pouch)
• Bare area
37. • Immediate left subphrenic space
• Left subhepatic space
• Falciform ligament
Left peritoneal spaces
38. Left subhepatic space
• gastrohepatic recess
• affected by diseases of the duodenal bulb,
lesser curve of the stomach, gallbladder, and
left lobe of the liver.

41. Peritoneal
circulation
• Predominantly to right
paracolic gutter
– deeper and wider than
the left
– partially cleared by the
subphrenic lymphatics.
• Watershed regions - fluid
stasis:
– Ileocolic region
– Root of the sigmoid
mesentery
• Malignancy staging
59. Note
• Falciform Ligament
– Is a sickle-shaped peritoneal fold connecting the liver to the diaphragm and
the anterior abdominal wall.
– Contains the ligamentum teres hepatis and the paraumbilical vein, which
connects the left branch of the portal vein with the subcutaneous veins in the
region of the umbilicus.
• Ligamentum Teres Hepatis (Round Ligament of the Liver)
– Lies in the free margin of the falciform ligament and ascends from the
umbilicus to the inferior (visceral) surface of the liver, lying in the fissure that
forms the left boundary of the quadrate lobe of the liver.
– Is formed after birth from the remnant of the left umbilical vein, which
carries oxygenated blood from the placenta to the left branch of the portal
vein in the fetus. (The right umbilical vein is obliterated during the embryonic
period.)
60. Note
• Coronary Ligament
– Is a peritoneal reflection from the diaphragmatic surface of
the liver onto the diaphragm and encloses a triangular
area of the right lobe, the bare area of the liver.
– Has right and left extensions that form the right and left
triangular ligaments.
• Ligamentum Venosum
– Is the fibrous remnant of the ductus venosus.
– Lies in the fissure on the inferior surface of the liver,
forming the left boundary of the caudate lobe of the liver.
65. • Each segment has its own vascular inflow, outflow and biliary
drainage.
• ด้านในเลี้ยงด้วย PT ด้านนอก ด้วย hepatic veins.
• Right hepatic vein divides the right lobe into anterior and posterior
segments.
Middle hepatic vein divides the liver into right and left lobes (or
right and left hemiliver). This plane runs from the inferior vena cava
to the gallbladder fossa.
Left hepatic vein divides the left lobe into a medial and lateral part.
66. • Portal vein divides the liver into upper and lower
segments.
The left and right portal veins branch superiorly and
inferiorly to project into the center of each segment.
• Because of this division into self-contained units, each
segment can be resected without damaging those
remaining. For the liver to remain viable, resections
must proceed along the vessels that define the
peripheries of these segments. This means, that
resection-lines parallel the hepatic veins,
The centrally located portal veins, bile ducts, and
hepatic arteries are preserved
