“…Spread of deposits to the right subhepatic and subphrenic spaces is also frequently seen, especially in ovarian cancer. Almost 90% of patients with ovarian cancer have peritoneal implants at post mortem and 60–70% have ascites[ 24 , 25 ].…”

The peritoneum is the largest and most complexly arranged serous membrane in the body. The potential peritoneal spaces, the peritoneal reflections forming peritoneal ligaments, mesenteries, omenta, and the natural flow of peritoneal fluid determine the route of spread of intraperitoneal fluid and consequently disease spread within the abdominal cavity. The peritoneal ligaments, mesenteries, and omenta also serve as boundaries and conduits for disease spread. Peritoneal metastases spread in four ways: Direct spread along peritoneal ligaments, mesenteries and omenta to non-contiguous organsIntraperitoneal seeding via ascitic fluidLymphatic extensionEmbolic haematogenous spread.Before the introduction of cross-sectional imaging, the peritoneum and its reflections could only be imaged with difficulty, often requiring invasive techniques. Computed tomography and to a lesser extent sonography and MR imaging allow us to examine the complex anatomy of the peritoneal cavity accurately, which is the key to understanding the spread of peritoneal metastases. This article reviews the detection of peritoneal metastases.

“…Laparoscopic surgeries under local anesthesia have been performed and reported for many decades, primarily for gynecologic indications or malignancy staging. 28,29 The interest to explore and develop this approach further for intestinal surgeries will evolve when small diameter tools become more robust and when direct imaging of abdominal organs can be coupled with new concepts in intestinal surgery. For example, we know that combined endoscopic-laparoscopic surgery, where benign polyps may be removed successfully using a combination of endoscopic and laparoscopic methods, could be done under local anesthesia with further development of this methodology, saving certain patients the need for general anesthetic.…”

The peritoneum, mesenteries and omenta: normal anatomy and pathological processes

The peritoneum is the largest and most complexly arranged serous membrane in the body. The potential peritoneal spaces, the peritoneal reflections forming peritoneal ligaments, mesenteries, omenta and the natural flow of peritoneal fluid determine the route of spread of intraperitoneal fluid and, consequently, disease processes within the abdominal cavity. The peritoneal ligaments, mesenteries and omenta also serve as boundaries for disease processes and conduits for disease spread. The peritoneal cavity and its reflections are frequently involved by infectious, inflammatory, neoplastic and traumatic processes. Before the introduction of cross-sectional imaging, the peritoneum and its reflections could only be imaged with difficulty, often requiring invasive techniques. Computed tomography and, to a lesser extent, sonography and MR imaging allow the accurate examination of the complex anatomy of the peritoneal cavity, which is the key to understanding the pathological processes affecting it. This article reviews the normal peritoneal anatomy and its disease processes.
