Peritoneal surface area: measurements of 40 structures covered by peritoneum: correlation between total peritoneal surface area and the surface calculated by formulas

Abstract: The values shown in this paper would provide non-existing information for basic anatomy, and would contribute either to the study of pathologies involving the peritoneum or to their diagnosis and therapies.

“…One study favors copious lavage of the entire abdominal cavity, and the other sustains that aspiration is enough and that irrigation might otherwise contribute to the contamination of the abdomen, especially in appendicitis without generalized peritonitis [32,33] (level III). The answer might lie in a small experimental study, conducted on children, that attempts to determine the quantity of saline solution needed to significantly lower bacterial concentration; for 5.8 l/m 2 of peritoneal surface (established 1.4 m 2 as median surface [34]) at least 8 l of saline solution [35] should be used. Such an extensive lavage is seldom made even in generalized peritonitis (it takes about 3 min for every liter of saline to be used without a peristaltic pump, and the time required is not compatible with the declared operative times, as lavage time should be half the entire time required for the operation).…”

“…Methodological problems make it difficult to establish correlations between the risk of systemic exposure and peritoneal surface area at the moment of HIPEC. The peritoneal surface area does not always correlate with body weight or surface area; moreover, there is great interindividual variability in the surface area and permeability of one peritoneal segment or another (Breborowicz et al, 1989;Albanese at al., 2009). It has been suggested that the risk of systemic drug diffusion might be pragmatically correlated with the number of peritonectomy procedures performed during debulking surgery (de Lima Vazquez et al, 2003;Sugarbaker et al, 2011).…”

“…Eine Studie favori siert die ausgiebige Lavage der gesamten Abdominalhöhle und die andere hält da ran fest, dass das Absaugen von Luft aus reiche und dass eine Spülung zur Konta mination des Abdomen beitragen könne, insbesondere bei der Appendizitis ohne generalisierte Peritonitis [32,33] (Le vel III). Die Antwort könnte in einer klei nen experimentellen, an Kindern durch geführten Studie zu finden sein, die den Versuch macht, die Quantität von Koch salzlösung zu bestimmen, die zur signifi kanten Minderung der bakteriellen Kon zentration benötigt wird; für 5,8 l/m 2 peri tonealer Oberfläche (berechnet bei 1,4 m 2 als medianer Oberfläche [34]) sollten mindestens 8 l Salzlösung [35] verwendet werden. Eine solche extensive Lavage wird selten durchgeführt, nicht einmal bei ge neralisierter Peritonitis (man rechnet etwa 3 min pro Liter Salzlösung, der ohne peri staltische Pumpe eingeführt wurde; die benötigte Zeit ist mit den deklarierten Operationszeiten nicht zu vereinbaren, nachdem die Dauer der Lavage etwa die Hälfte der Zeit beansprucht, die als Ge samtoperationsdauer veranschlagt ist).…”
