Objectives: After completion of this video session it is expected that the students will be able to understand and demonstrate the: • Fascia of the anterolateral abdominal wall: - Superficial fascia: fatty layer and membranous layer. - Deep (investing) fascia. - Endoabdominal fascia. • The linea alba is a strong fibrous raphe where the flat abdominal muscles decussate and interweave. • The flat abdominal muscles: - External oblique muscle. - Internal oblique muscle. - Transverse abdominis muscle. - Direction of fibers, layers, the concept of digastric muscles. • The superficial inguinal ring: formation. • Formation and attachments of the inguinal ligament. • The rectus abdominis: attachments and tendinous intersections. • Pyramidalis is a small occasional muscle. • Formation and contents of the rectus sheath. • Formation of the arcuate line. • Location of the neurovascular plane. • Arterial supply of the anterolateral abdominal wall: the anastomosis of the superior and inferior epigastric arteries. • Venous drainage of the anterolateral abdominal wall: Portal hypertension and caput medusae. • To which direction should the rectus muscle be retracted in a paramedian incision?
