trunk to same side, tuning
anterior part of abdomen to
opposite side
‘Compress abdominal
contents; both muscles flex
trunk: each muscle bends
trunk and turns anterior part
of abdomen to same side
- Aponeurotic part will bend with
linea alba as in external oblique.
ㆍ 3) transverse abdominis
- Taking its name from its fibers
- Aponeurotic part will blend with
linea alba
Transversalis fascia
* The very well developed deep
fascia, that lie underline the
transverse abdominis muscle.
・ It has a continuity with other
regions fascia like the perineum-
, PAW-, and diaphragm- related
fascia.
・ it has attachment to crest of hip
bone, then blend with fascia of
upper pelvic bone muscles and
pelvic cavity muscle.
Ligaments associated with the flat muscles of abdominal wall
ㆍ 1- Inguinal ligament
- Formed by the lower border of EO
- Pass between the ASIS and pubic
tubercle
- It folds on itself forming a trough
which will have an important role in
formation of inguinal canal
ㆍ 2- Lacunar ligament
- At the medial end of inguinal
ligament
- Pass backward to attached to pectin
ubis on superior ramus of pubic
one
ㆍ 3- Pectineal ligament ( of cooper's )
- fibers extend from the lacunar
pement along the pecten pubis of
the pelvic brim
Vertical muscles of abdominal wall
ㆍ 1) rectus abdominis
- 1 muscle on each side,
separated in midline by linea
alba
- 3 tendinous-intersections
divides the muscle transversely
…… SIX PACKS !!!
ㆍ 2) pyramidalis
- Traingular muscle
- Above RA
- Base on pubis while it is
attachemd medially and
superiorly to the linea alba
- Could be absent
Rectus sheath
+ The paired rectus abdominis muscles originate from the anterior
bony pubic bones toward the midline and run cephalad to insert
onto the xiphisternum and costal cartilages of ribs 5-7.
< They derive their blood supply from the superior and inferior
epigastric arteries from the internal thoracic and external iliac
arteries respectively, and their innervation from the anterior rami
of spinal nerve roots T7-T12.

Rectus sheath
NO rectus sheath covers the posterior surface of the lower % of the
muscle. ( last end called the arcuate line )
Part of rectus sheath anterior to the muscle formed by aponeurosis
of both EO & IO , while the that posterior to the muscle is formed by
aponeurosis of both IO & TA.
In lower abdomen, when there is no rectus sheath posterior to the
muscle, al the aponeurosis will pass anteriorly.
Cross section of
rectus sheath
Important of the abdominal wall muscles
・ By their positioning, they form a firm, but flexible, wall that keeps
the abdominal viscera within the abdominal cavity, protects the
viscera from injury, and helps maintain the position of the viscera in
the erect posture against the action of gravity.
・ In addition, contraction of these muscles assists in both quiet and
forced expiration by pushing the viscera upward (which helps push
the relaxed diaphragm further into the thoracic cavity) and in
coughing and vomiting.
・ All these muscles are also involved in any action that increases
intraabdominal pressure, including parturition (childbirth) ,
micturition (urination), and defecation ( expulsion of feces from the
rectum) .
Peritoneum
ㆍ Serous membrane lined the
abdominal cavity
Superficial fascia
Fatty layer Membranous layer
(Campers) (Scarpa's)
・ Reflects on some organ
providing either complete or
partial covering
・ SO, there is :-
1. Parietal peritoneum
2. Visceral peritoneum
+ This membrane form a cavity
which is closed in men, but have
to openings in women (
semiclosed ) !!
Innervation of abdominal wall
・ The skin, muscles, and parietal
peritoneum of the anterolateral
abdominal wall are supplied by
T7 to T 12 and L1 spinal nerves.
・ Intercostal nerves T7-T12 pass
along the inferior margins of
respective ribs, between 10 & TA
muscles then pass deep to RA
muscle and pierce rectus sheath
at midline to supply skin
* subcostal nerve > T12
Innervation of abdominal wall
L1 branches also contribute to
supply of AAW including the ilio-
hypogastric & ilioinguinal nerves.
Nerves T7 to T9 supply the skin
from the xiphoid process to just
above the umbilicus.
T10 supplies the skin around the
umbilicus.
711,T12 , and L1 supply the skin
from just below the umbilicus to,
and including, the pubic region
Additionally, the ilio-inguinal nerve
la branch of L1 ) supplies the
anterior surface of the scrotum or
labia majora, and sends a small
cutaneous branch to the thigh.

venous & lymphatic drainage of abdominal wall
> Venous drainage
・ Venous drainage is follow the
arteries
Abdominal surgery involves a surgical repair resection and
reconstruction of organ inside the abdominal cavity.It may
involve surgery of gall bladdar,small
intestine,largeintestine,liver,pancreas,spleen,oesophagus,and
appendix.
Abdominal surgeries can be performed by
1. open approach
2.keyhole approach
OPEN APPROACH - traditionally the surgeons operate through
an incision given over the abdominal wall or laparotomy which
is subsequently closed with sutures
KEYHOLE APPROACH — in recent advancements most surgeons
prefer to use the minimally invasive keyhole approach known as
laproscopy . During laproscopy several small incisions are made
to access with the help of laproscope
ABDOMINAL INCISIONS
A well planned surgical incision is one of the most crutial step in any
surgical procedure . It is always essential to determine the proper
location of the incision for optimum visualisation and to always keep in
mind anatomy, blood supply that may suffer compromise . Exact
placement and size of the incision utilised are also crutial for aesthetical
reason.In doing so ‚three essentials should be achieved :
1. Accessibility
2.Extensibility
3.Security
Ideally the incision is made in the direction of the line of clevage in the
skin i.e langer’s lines these lines are parallel to natural orientation of
the collagen fibres in the dermis as well as the underlying muscle fibres .
If the incision is made in the direction of langer lines they tends to heal
better and produce less scarring than those cross them.
ANTERIOR POSTERIOR
CHOICE OF INCISION
The choice of incision depends on :
1. the type of surgery
2.the organ to be exposed
3.build of the patient
4.The presence of previous abdominal incision
5.The experience and preference of surgeon
TYPES OF INCISION
1.Vertical incision
2.Thoracoabdominal incision
3.Transverse incision
VERTICAL INCISION
1. Midline incision
2. Paramedian incision
1.MIDLINE INCISION
It is the most common incision
INDICATIONS:
1. laprotomy
2. vagotomy
3.operation of pancreas, stomach,gall bladdar
4.peptic ulcer
OPENING : skin followed by subcutaneous fat linea
alba and than peritoneum
CLOSURE: peritoneum than linea alba fat layer and
than skin
TYPES OF MIDLINE INCISION
1. Supra umbilical : also known as upper midline
incision
It is the incision from the xiphoid to above umblicus
Rectus muscle is not usually encountered
It is used in case of dealing with organs such as
stomach liver pancreas duodenum gall bladdar spleen
2.INFRA UMBILICAL : it is the incision from the umblicus
superiorly to pubic symphysis inferiorly
Incision divide rectus sheath and linea alba and peritoneum
should be opened in upper area to avoid injury to bladdar
It allows access to pelvic organs ,colon ,small intestine
3.FULL MIDLINE INCISION : it is the incision from xiphoid to
pubis .it is used when great exposure is needed
ADVANTAGES
equal exposure on both sides of abdomen
Less amount of blood loss due to avascularity of linea alba
No muscle fibre are divided
No nerve are injured
It is very quick to open as well as to close
It can be extended up and down
Easy to deal with pathology on both sides
NO) Ge SRE
DISADVANTAGES
1.More painful
2.Ugly scar
3.Post operative incisional hernia because linea alba is
avascular so is the weakest area of abdomen and as
no rectus sheath and muscle for support of abdominal
viscera
4.Lateral organs cannot be approached
5.Poor healing

2.PARAMEDIAN INCISION
It is the incision 2-5 cm lateral to the midline
OPENING : skin>fascia ant rectus sheath the ant rectus
muscle is freed from the anterior sheath and retracted
laterally to save vessels and nerves> the post rectus sheath or
transversalis fascia> extraperitoneal fat and peritoneum are
excised to allow entry into abdominal cavity
TYPES:
1.Right upper paramedian
indications-operation of gall bladdar and common bile duct
,in gastrectomy and enterectomy , operation of head of
pancreas
2.Right lower paramedian
ADVANTAGES
1. provides access to lateral structures such as spleen or
kidney
2. Less chance of incisional hernia because rectus
muscle acts as support
3. Better exposure
DISADVANTAGES
1.takes longer time to close and open
2.lt tends to weak and strip off the muscles from its
lateral vasculature and nerve supply resulting in
atrophy of muscle medial to incision
3.Possibility of extending the incision superiorly are
limited by costal margins
4.Does’nt give access to contralateral structure
5.Risk of epigastric vessel injury is there
THORACOABDOMIINAL INCISION
elt is the unique incision that connects the pleural
cavity and peritoneal cavity so excellent exposure is
there.It is used to expose thorax and abdominal
structure.
«Upper midline,upperparamidline,or upper oblique
incision is easily extended into either left or right
chest for better exposure (along the line of 8th
intercostal space)
*Right incision is used in hepatic resection and right
kidney
-Left incision is used in resection of lower oesophagus
and proximal portion of stomach
PROCEDURE
1.The patient is placed in corkscrew position i.e abdomen
tilted 45degree and thorax twisted into lateral position.
2.Vertical incision through abdomen is made which is
extended into the 8 中 intercostal space for abdominal and
pleural exposure
3.The incision will disrupt the rectus abdominis and
oblique muscles if places lateral and transversus
abdominis in abdomen and lattismus dorsi ,serratus
anterior and external oblique and intercostal muscle
resection exposes the pleural cavity
4. Once the thoracic cavity is enterd the lung is deflated
the two incision should meet at a sharp angle for clean
exposure

MAYLARD INCISION / MACKENRODT INCISION
» Side of incision is above and parallel to the traditional
pfannenstiel incision .
・ The rectus fascia and rectus sheath are cut transversely and the
incision is extended as far as needed .
・ Use:
a) provide wider access to
the pelvic cavity .
b) for gynaecological surgeries.
TRANSVERSE MUSCLE DIVIDING INCISION
・ Done at the level above the umbilicus.
・ Layers opened : Skin -> Subcutaneous tissue -> oblique Muscles
( internal and external oblique muscles ) are partly cut and partly
split -> Transversus abdominis muscle is sit along the direction of
fibres -> rectus abdominis muscle
fibres are cut perpendicular to their
Direction -> peritoneum.
+ Uses:
a) preffered in newborns and
Infants because more abdominal
exposure will be gained .
LAPAROSCOPY
Surgery Performed Through Several tiny
"Keyhole Incisions". A fiber - optic
instrument is inserted through one of
the incisions to view the inside of the
Abdomen.Surgical Instruments are
Inserted through other incisions.
INDICATIONS
1.Cause of Chronic Abdominal Pain.
2.Cause of Female infertility.
3.Taking Biopsy Sample of
abdominal tissue.
4.Removal of Appendix and gall
Bladder or gallbladder stones.
5.In ectopic pregnancy removal of
the fetus from within the fallopian
tube.
6.Removal if tumors/custs from ovary.
7.Taking Biopsy Sample of Abdominal
Tissue.
8.Surgery of The Urinary Bladder as
management of incontinence.
9.Removal of Parts of liver, spleen and
Adrenal Glands.
10.Complete Removal of Whole uterus
or ovary. (Hysterectomy/
Salpingectomy).
Preoperative Protocol
-Physical Exam
-Review Of medications
-Blood tests such as blood sugar.
Including pregnancy test, hemogram,
liver function test, electrolyte status.
-Urinalysis to rule out urinary tract
infection or diabetes.
-USG, CT or MRI of Abdomen
Description of Procedure
The surgeon cuts a small opening in the
abdomen. The location of this incision
varies depending on the procedure either
near the navel or in the lower abdomen for
pelvic conditions. A needle is inserted and
used to inject CO2 gas into the abdomen to
make abdominal cavity expand and makes
it easier to see the internal structures. The
surgeon then insert a long, thin tubular
instrunment(laproscope) thats light,
magnifies and projects image of the
internal organs onto a video screen.
If necessary, several other incisions may
be made in the abdomen through which
to insert instrunments that can take
Biopsies or perform various types of
surgery(such as repair or removal of
organ). After the laproscope and any
other tools are removed, the incisions
closed with stitches or clips and
covered with dressing.
Possible Complications
-Infection
-Gas embolism
-Excessive bleeding due to damage
to blood vessels sometimes require
Immediate open surgery for repair.
-Anaesthesia related problems.
Post Operative Care
The Patient Must:-
1.Avoid Heavy Lifting.
2.Do not drink carbonated beverages
for Two days.
3.Avoid Constipation.
Instructions Before Surgery
1.Inform surgeon immediately about any
Changes in patient health condition such as
fever or cold within 24 hours before the
scheduled surgery.
2.No food or drink allowed after midnight the
day before surgery.
3.No smoking or drinking 24 hours before the
surgery.
4.Patient must take only the medications
advised by the surgeon.

Assessment
* Surgery note reading
o Types of incision
o Type of anesthesia
o Any immediate complication/unwanted event
* Monitor vital signs
* Investigations: Chest X-Ray, ABG etc.
+ Understand the attachments/ lines
* Conscious/ orientation level
Physiotherapy Assessment
* Physiotherapy assessment occurs in the context of the patient condition, the
nature and type
* of the surgery, the ongoing medical plan, the patient's premorbid status and any
comorbidities
* impacting upon post-operative rehabilitation, Level of alertness, ability to follow
instructions
* and haemodynamic and respiratory stability will be carefully assessed before any
therapeutic
* intervention is considered, Consensus guidelines for physiotherapy assessment
and treatment
Respiratory assessment
* Breathing pattern
* Difficulty in coughing...??
* Auscultation
* Circulatory Assessment
* Homan's sign
* Oedema
* Peripheral pulse
* Posture and Mobility
* Kypho-scoliosis
* Bed mobility
* Pain Assessment
+ VAS / NPRS/ MPQ
Complications
Possible complications—
* Infection
* Gas embolism
* Excessive bleeding due to accidental damage to blood vessel
* Pain: the patient may experience soreness for a couple of days. A unique
postoperative
* pain may be experienced in the right shoulder related to pressure
entrapped from CO2.
* This pain may be relieved by lying down on the left side with right knee &
thigh drawn
* upto chest. Walking may also help by increasing the reabsorption of gas.
Post Operative Management
Goals:-
To prevent respiratory complications
To improve circulatory component
To improve or maintain ROM
To improve muscles strength
Early mobilization
Prevention of pressure sores
Post Operative PT management
Day 1
・ Ankle foot Pumps (10 Reps. Per hour)
ㆍ Active/ Assisted limb mobility exercises
・ Breathing exercises (in upright sitting/ long sitting in
bed)
o Diaphragmatic breathing
o Segmental expansion
+ Airway clearance Techniques
ㆍ Huffing/ coughing with incisional support (hand
support/ pillow support/ binder)
+ Incentive spirometry
Day 1
Day 2
Continue with Day 1 regime
Pelvic tilting
Knee rolling
Edge of bed sitting
Supported ambulation (according to patient tolerance/upto 20
meters)
Progression of incentive spirometry
Day 3
ㆍ
Continue with Day 2 regime
chair sitting
Supported ambulation (progression according to patient tolerance)
Increase frequency of ambulation (3-4 times a day)
Progression of incentive spirometry
Knee Rolling
Day 4 to 7
Continue with Day 3 regime
Gradually increase the frequency & distance
of ambulation Patients usually discharge from
the hospital after two weeks of surgery, once
the stitches have been removed. Some patient
takes longer times for recovery.
Electrotherapy in Pain management
Electrotherapy devices that help control both chronic and acute pain fall
into three categories: Interferential therapy, Microcurrents,
Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation.
Interferential Therapy: It works on the spinal gate of pain. In IFT two
different frequencies work together to stimulate large impulse nerve
fibers and interfere the transmission of pain message at spinal cord level
and block their transmission to brain. It also stimulates the
parasympathetic nerve fibers for increased blood flow.
Microcurrent Therapy: it thought to mimic the body’s own electrical
system.it uses subtle current to build upon naturally occurring impulses to
decrease pain.
Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation (TENS): it is most effective pain
modality. It works on two approaches: first, it target sensory nerves,
stimulating them to block pain signals and preventing their transmission
to brain. Second, it promotes production of endorphins. It's also a very
effective replacement for narcotic analgesics. In post operative conditions,
TENS may be applied continuously at the operative site, through surface
electrode on either side of suture line.
Electrotherapy in Fluid management
Excessive fluid known as oedema, is
detrimental to any healing process. It causing
swelling around the injured area and hinders
the circulation as well as resist the removal of
waste products. Electrotherapy uses IFT,
faradism under pressure to move the excess
fluid from the injured area back to the
circulation.
