| Abstract [eng] |
It is reasonable that the fields of the anterior abdominal wall should be marked according to one system which could be strictly preserved in laparoscopic surgery. A cartographic scheme of the anterior abdominal wall is presented in this paper. The umbilicus is the central point (mark “O”). The anterior abdominal wall was divided into four traditional quadrants, A, B, C, and D. Each of them was subdivided into 3 sectors, a, b, and c, as well as three zones P (proximal), M (middle), and L (lateral). The bourders of the sectors have to be subdivided according to a clockwise rule. Following this scheme, 36 points and 36 fields are marked. There are presented four cartographic maps for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, inguinal hernia repair and duodenorrhaphy. |
