ABDOMEN & PELVIS PRESENTED BY :-Saru Gosain B.Sc.MIT 2017 MODERATOR:- Mr. Ranjit Kumar Jha ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
abdomen A bdomen (also called belly, tummy) is the part of the trunk below the diaphragm and above the pelvis at the pelvic inlet. 2 parts:- anterior abdominal wall and posterior abdominal wall .
Anterior abdominal wall Extends from the xiphoid process to the pubic symphysis anteriorly and thoracic cage to the gluteal region posteriorly. Consists of various muscles, peritoneal cavity and abdominal viscera
D ivided into 4 quadrants and 9 regions to describe the location of abdominal viscera or structure.
CONTENTS OF ABDOMEN PERITONEUM Large serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity. It is divided into Parietal peritoneum Visceral peritoneum Folds of peritoneum
CONTENTS OF ABDOMEN Parietal peritoneum lines the inner surface of the abdominal and pelvic walls and the lower surface of the diaphragm. Visceral peritoneum lines the outer surface of the viscera
Peritoneal folds connect viscera to the abdominal wall or to each other in or outside the peritoneal cavity. Eg :- mesentery at small intestine, mesocolon at colon, omenta at stomach and ligaments which are the double- layered folds of peritoneum. Viscera suspended in the cavity are intra-peritoneal whereas suspended outside with only one surface covered by the peritoneum are the retroperitoneal organs Retroperitoneal organs:- SAD PUCKER S= Suprarenal gland A= Aorta/IVC D= Duodenum (2 nd & 3 rd ) P= Pancreas except tail U= Ureters C= Colon (ascending and descending colon) K= Kidney E= Esophagus R= Rectum
CONTENTS OF ABDOMEN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Oesophagus Stomach Small intestine Large intestine
Digestive system OESOPHAGUS The abdominal part of the esophagus is only about 1.25cm long which enters the abdomen through the esophageal opening of the diaphragm situated at the level of T10.
Stomach Also called gaster , ( greek belly) or venter Muscular bag farming the widest and most distensible part of the digestive tube. Intervenes between oesophagus above and duodenum below.
Situation Occupies epigastric , left hypochondriac and umbilical regions. Capacity In new born = 30-50ml In adult =1000-1500ml Shape In cadaver =sickle shaped In living =J-shaped
Presenting parts Two Orifices The cardiac orifice is joined by lower end of the oesophagus. The pyloric orifice open into the duodenum. Two Curvature The Lesser curvature and the greater curvature . Two surfaces The anterior/ anterosuperior surface faces forward and upwards. The posterior/ posteroinferior surface faces backward and downwards. Two parts 1. Cardiac part ; Fundus and body 2. Pyloric part Pyloric antrum (7.5cm) and pyloric canal(2.5cm)
Posterior-inferior surface is related to structures forming the stomach bed . Structures upon which the stomach rests; -Left crus of diaphragm -Left supra-renal gland -Anterior surface of left kidney -Tortuous splenic artery. -Anterior surface of pancreas. -Transverse mega colon. -Gastric impression of spleen(when distended stomach) Stomach bed
Arterial supply Left gastric artery(principal artery) Right gastric Short gastric Left gastro- epiploic Right gastroepiploic Posterior gastric artery.
venous drainage Right and left gastric veins-into the trunk of portal vein Short gastric and left gastro- epiploic veins-into splenic vein Right gastro- epiploic vein-into the trunk of superior mesenteric vein.
Small intestine Pylorus to ileocaecal junction Length : 6 m Duodenum = 25 cm Jejunum = upper 2/5 th Ileum = lower 3/5 th
Duodenum: fixed Retroperitoneal organ ( 2 nd & 3 rd part ) elongated ‘C' that lies between the level of the L1 to L3 in the supine position 20 DUODENUM
Divided into 4 parts First or Upper part:- 5 cm Second or vertical part:- 7.5-8 cm Third or horizontal part:- 10cm Fourth or Ascending part:- 2.5 cm
Extends from pylorus to superior duodenal flexure Length 5 cm In the radiograph taken after giving a barium meal, this part is seen as a triangular shadow and is referred to as duodenal cap Relations In front covered by peritoneum Related to quadrate lobe of liver Neck of gall bladder
2 nd part of the duodenum Begins from the superior duodenal flexure opposite L1 vertebra Passes vertically downward to reach the inferior duodenal flexure opposite lower boarder of L3
3 rd part of duodenum Begins from inferior duodenal flexure on the right side of lower border of 3 rd lumbar vertebra. 10 cm long Extends across the lower part of L3 Passes almost horizontal and slightly upwards in front of the IVC and ends in continuity with the fourth part in front of the abdominal aorta
4 th part of duodenum About 2.5 cm long Extends to the duodeno - jejunal flexure in front of aorta Relation Peritoneal relation: Most of the part is retroperitoneal and fixed Terminal part is suspended by the uppermost part of the mesentery
Arterial supply Up to the level of opening of bile duct into 2 nd part of the duodenum, it is supplied by superior pancreaticoduodenal artery and below it is supplied by inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery. First part of duodenum receives additional supply from Right gastric artery Supraduodenal artery of Wilkie , which is branch of common hepatic artery Retroduodenal branch of gastroduodenal artery Some branches of right gastroepiploic artery
Jejunum & Ileum Concerned with digestion & absorption . Hence, together known as small intestine proper . Extends from duodenojejunal flexure to ileocaecal junction Upper 2/5 th : jejunum Lower 3/5 th : ileum Are suspended from posterior abdominal wall by mesentery, hence mobile.
ARTERIAL SUPPLY: Jejunal and ileal branches of the superior mesenteric artery. Vasa recta supplies to the glands and villi. LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE: Mesenteric lymph nodes NERVE SUPPLY : Sympathetic T9 to T11
Feature Jejunum Ileum Wall Thicker and more vascular Thinner and less vascular Lumen Wider and often empty Narrower and often loaded Mode of blood supply Jujunal arteries form one or two arterial arcades; the vasa recta arising from it is longer and fewer Form three or more arcades; vasa recta are shorter and more numerous Mesentry Fat is less abundant therefore translucent windows are found between the vasa recta and the window are rectangular More abundant therefore translucent windows are usually not observed. If present they are rectangular Plicae circularis Larger and more closely set Smaller and widely separated (fold are absent in terminal 6 inch ) Solitary lymphatic follcles absent present Peyer’s patches Absent present

Lumbar vertebrae There are 5 lumbar vertebrae, of which the first four are typical, and the fifth is atypical Lumbar vertebrae is identified by Its large size The absence of costal facets on the body and The absence of foramen in transverse process
Typical features of lumbar vertebrae The body is large, kidney-shaped The vertebral foramen is triangular in shape, and is larger than in the thoracic region but is smaller than in cervical region The pedicles are short and strong The alminae are short, thick and broad The spine forms a vertical quadrilateral plate, directed almost backwards and only slightly downwards. The transverse process are thin and tapering The superior articular processes lie farther apart than the inferior The inferior articular process lie nearer to each other than the superior.
aTypical features of lumbar vertebrae T he transverse processes are thick, short and pyramidal in shape. The distance between the inferior articular processes is equal to or more than the distance between the superior articular processes. The spine is small, short and rounded at the tip The body is the largest of all the lumbar vertebrae. The pedicles are directed backwards and laterally. The superior articular facets look more backwards than medially, and the inferior articular facets look more forwards t han laterally, as compared to other lumbar vertebrae
