The retroperitoneum lies between the posterior parietal peritoneum and anterior transversalis fascia. It is divided into three spaces by fasciae: anterior pararenal, perirenal, and posterior pararenal. Retroperitoneal organs include the duodenum, pancreas, kidneys, ureters, and great vessels. Fluid collections can extend between these spaces along interfascial planes. Characterization of retroperitoneal tumors involves identifying the organ of origin and patterns of spread. Specific radiologic signs like the "beak sign" can help determine the originating organ. The presence or absence of fat or other tissue components also provides clues to diagnosis.

Extra Levator Abdomino Perineal Resection Dr Harsh Shah
This document discusses extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE) for rectal cancer. It describes how ELAPE aims to improve on conventional abdominoperineal resection (APR) by removing a larger volume of tissue, including the levator muscles, to obtain clear margins. Meta-analyses have found ELAPE results in lower rates of circumferential resection margin involvement, local recurrence, and involved nodes compared to APR. However, ELAPE also increases morbidity risks and requires perineal wound reconstruction. While ELAPE shows potential oncological benefits, more high-quality studies are still needed to prove its superiority over selective approaches.

The male reproductive system is a complex network of organs and structures responsible for the production and transportation of sperm, as well as the secretion of male sex hormones.
During sexual intercourse, sperm are ejaculated from the penis into the female reproductive tract, where they may fertilize an egg, leading to pregnancy.
The male reproductive system works in coordination with the female reproductive system to ensure reproduction.

This document provides an overview of abdominal anatomy as seen on various medical imaging modalities. It begins with the landmarks used to divide the abdomen into quadrants and regions. It then describes the radiological modalities commonly used to image the abdomen, including ultrasound, CT, x-ray, and MRI. The document proceeds to provide details on the surface anatomy, radiological anatomy, and normal measurements of major abdominal organs and structures such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, stomach, intestines, kidneys, bladder, and blood vessels.
The document provides information about the anatomy and imaging of the liver. It discusses the embryology, gross anatomy including surfaces and lobes, blood supply, and venous drainage of the liver. It then covers ultrasound, CT, MRI, angiography, nuclear medicine imaging, and PET/CT imaging of the liver, describing the appearance of normal liver and protocols for each modality.
The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the pharynx to the stomach. It passes through the neck and thorax and has portions that are lined with striated muscle, smooth muscle, or a mixture. The esophagus contains two sphincters - the upper esophageal sphincter at the pharynx and the lower esophageal sphincter at the stomach - that prevent backflow of food and gastric contents. The document describes the anatomy, histology, blood supply, lymphatic drainage and development of the esophagus.
The document provides an overview of kidney, ureter, and bladder anatomy. It describes the location and structure of the kidneys, including their coverings, vasculature, and internal organization into cortex, medulla, pyramids, and papillae that drain into minor and major calyces. The ureters are described as retroperitoneal tubes connecting the kidneys to the bladder. The bladder is an infraperitoneal organ divided into regions that collects urine via ureteric openings in the trigone and empties via the urethra.
Anatomy of liver, biliary tract and portal systemTanat Tabtieang
This document provides an overview of the anatomy of the liver, biliary tract, and portal venous system. It describes the liver's location, lobes and segments, surfaces, ligaments, blood supply, and drainage. The gallbladder, biliary tract, and portal venous system are also summarized. Specifically, it discusses the gallbladder's location and parts, as well as the tributaries and anastomoses of the portal venous system. Complications of portal hypertension like esophageal varices are also mentioned. The objectives are to describe the surface anatomy and functional anatomy of the liver and associated structures.
The document provides information about the abdomen and pelvis. It describes the structures of the male and female pelvis including bones, ligaments, muscles, cavities and contents. It discusses the classifications of pelvis and compares features of male and female pelvis. It also describes organs located in the pelvis including colon, rectum, bladder, urethra, reproductive organs and blood supply to these structures.

Plab1 - Genetic and Chromosomal Disorders (Al-Hanif Foundation)Dr-SHAHBAZ HANIF
This document categorizes and describes several genetic disorders by their inheritance patterns. Autosomal recessive disorders like cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia have a 25% chance of being passed down from each parent and only affect those who inherit the defective gene from both parents. Autosomal dominant disorders such as Huntington's disease and Marfan syndrome have a 50% chance of being passed down from an affected parent and affect those inheriting one copy of the defective gene. X-linked recessive disorders including hemophilia and Duchene muscular dystrophy have a 50% chance of affecting males who inherit the defective gene from their mother. Trisomies such as Down syndrome occur when individuals are born with an extra copy of chromosome 13

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Retroperitoneal Space
Diaphragm
Sacral promontory + Arcuate line
Parietal peritoneum
Fascia of post. abdominal wall
Communicates with:
• Mediastinal connective tissue (superiorly)
• Extraperitoneal fat (bilaterally)
• Pelvic extraperitoneal space (inferiorly)
3. Continue…
The retroperitoneal space can be divided into:
1. Left lumbar region (left flank)
2. Right lumbar region (right flank)
3. Pre-vertebral region
4. Left iliac fossa (LIF)
5. Right iliac fossa (RIF)
4. Continue…

D = Duodenum (2nd – 4th parts)
P = Pancreas (head, neck & body)
U = Ureters
C = Colon (ascending & descending)
K = Kidneys
E = Esophagus
R = Rectum

Left kidney (T11 - L2)
Right kidney (T12 - L3)
Structures at the renal hilus:
Front to backward:
Renal vein, Artery & Pelvis
Above to downward:
Renal artery, Vein & Pelvis
• Kidneys move with respiratory movements of the diaphragm within the range
of no more than 1 vertebra (Rohen et al. 1998)
6. Capsules of the Kidneys
3-layers:
• Renal fascia
• Adipose capsule
• Fibrous capsule
• Each kidney weighs about 120-150 g.
8. Renal Vasculature
• Renal artery
Abd. Aorta, (L1-L2 intervertebral disks)
Rt. Renal artery is normally longer.
Average diameter = 0.77 cm
Accessory renal arteries are common.
Close attention should be paid, when a
resection of kidney is required.
9. Continue…
• Renal vein
Left renal vein is normally 2 or even more than 3 times longer.
It houses blood from left kidney, left suprarenal gland, and testicles
(ovaries)
• Lymphatic vessels & Nerves
Testicular varicose veins (constriction of Lt. renal V. by enlarged RP lymph
nodes)
11. Ureter
• Size
25-30 cm in length
4-7mm in diameter
• Parts
Abdominal part
Pelvic part
Intramural part
Retroperitoneal tumors frequently
Compress, distort & even invade,
eventually leading to obstruction.
13. Common Iliac Artery
Diameter = 10.3-10.4 mm
Length = 4.3-4.6 cm
Vessel wall is thinner at the
terminal bifurcation
• External Iliac Artery
Diameter = 5.9-6 mm
Length = 10.4-11.8 cm
• Acute abd. Aortic occlusion may be fatal or leads to lower limb gangrene
