visceral peritoneum

This membrane is continuous with the visceral peritoneum lining the organs.

The term mesentery is often used to refer to a double layer of visceral peritoneum.

The viscera are also covered visceral peritoneum.

The inner layer, the visceral peritoneum, is wrapped around the internal organs that are located inside the intraperitoneal space.

Invasion of adjacent organs other than the gallbladder or with perforation of the visceral peritoneum is considered T4.

The coronary ligaments represent reflections of the visceral peritoneum covering the liver onto the diaphragm.

The visceral peritoneum covers the internal organs and makes up most of the outer layer of the intestinal tract.

The stomach is a viscus within the abdominal cavity, and is covered with a lining called the visceral peritoneum.

If there is perforation of the visceral peritoneum covering the gastric ligaments or the omentum, the tumor should be classified T3.

Omphalocele is another congenital birth defect, but it involves the umbilical cord itself, and the organs remain enclosed in visceral peritoneum.

If this organ is invaginated far enough into the peritoneum, the visceral peritoneum will come in contact with itself, forming the organ's mesentery.

The sheet with loops facing outwards is then pushed between parietal and visceral peritoneum of the other side of the incision covering ab-dominal content.

This invaginated peritoneum (visceral peritoneum) will often surround all but a part of the organ ("bare area"), through which the organ transmits blood vessels and nerves.

Apart from a patch where it connects to the diaphragm (the so-called "bare area"), the liver is covered entirely by visceral peritoneum, a thin, double-layered membrane that reduces friction against other organs.

The peritoneal cavity is a potential space between the parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum, that is, the two membranes that separate the organs in the abdominal cavity from the abdominal wall.

The structures in the abdomen are classified as intraperitoneal, retroperitoneal or infraperitoneal depending on whether they are covered with visceral peritoneum and whether they are attached by mesenteries (mensentery, mesocolon).

The greater omentum (also the great omentum, omentum majus, gastrocolic omentum, epiploon, or, especially in animals, caul) is a large fold of visceral peritoneum that hangs down from the stomach.

Features in patients with stage II colon cancer that are associated with an increased risk of recurrence include inadequate lymph node sampling, T4 disease, involvement of the visceral peritoneum, and a poorly differentiated histology.

Stage IIA: Cancer has spread beyond the visceral peritoneum (tissue that covers the gallbladder) and/or to the liver and/or one nearby organ (such as the stomach, small intestine, colon, pancreas, or bile ducts outside the liver).
