Lesser Sac

Parts of lesser sac1. Superior recess2. Inferior recess3. Splenic recess4. Omental bursa

Lesser sac

Position: Behind the lesser omentum and stomachWalls• Superior－peritoneum which covers the caudate lobe of

liver and diaphragm

• Anterior: lesser omentum, peritoneum of posterior wallof stomach, and anterior two layers of greater omentum

• Inferior: Continuative area of anterior and posterior twolayers of greater omentum

• Posterior: Posterior two layers of greater omentum,transverse colon and transverse mesocolon, peritoneumcovering pancreas, left kidney and suprarenal gland

Supra and infracolic compartment

• The transverse mesocolon divides the abdominalcavity into a supracolic compartment, containing thestomach, liver, and spleen, and an infracoliccompartment, containing the small intestine andascending and descending colon.

• The infracolic compartment is divided into right andleft infracolic spaces by the mesentery of the smallintestine.

• Free communication occurs between the supracolicand the infracolic compartments through theparacolic gutters

Supracolic

• Rt/Lt subphrenic space

• Right subhepatic space (hepatorenal pouch)

• Left subhepatic space

(Lesser Sac)

Infracolic

• Rt/Lt infracolic space

• Paracolic gutters

Subphrenic space

Morrison’s PouchHepatorenal pouchRt subhepatic pouch

• Most dependent part of the peritoneal cavity in supineposition

• Most common site of subphrenic abscess

Infracoliccompartment

• Rt/Lt infracolic space

• Paracolic gutters

Pelvic part of peritoneal cavity

• Vesicouterine pouch• Rectouterine pouch

• Most dependent part in sitting or standing position.

• Most common site of pelvic abscess.

Peritoneal recesses

• These are small spaces of peritoneal cavitywith in large peritoneal cavity. These areguarded by folds which contain blood vessel.

• Duodenal recesses• Caecal recess• Intersigmoid recesses

• Duodenal recesses

• Exist around the fourth part of the duodenum and theduodenojejunal junction forming a number of named recesses.

Paracecal recess

• Superior ileocecal recess (ant cecal artery)

• Inferior ileocecal recess (avascular)

• Retrocecal recess (contains appendix)

Urachus

Umb artery

Inf Epigastric vesses

Folds and fossa of anterior abdominal wall

Folds and fossas of anterior abdominal wall

• Median umbilical fold －contain the remnant ofurachus (median umbilicalligaments)

• Medial umbilical fold －contains remnants of theumbilical arteries (medialumbilical ligaments)

• Lateral umbilical foldcontains the inferiorepigastric vessels

Supravesical fossa

Medial inguinal fossa

Lateral inguinal fossa
