The TRAM flap is composed of skin, adipocyte fat , and the musculus rectus abdominis , which is perfused (irrigated) by the deep inferior epigastric artery and by the deep ...
A posterior rectus sheath composed of the posterior portion of the aponeurosis of the internal oblique muscle and the aponeurosis of the transversus abdominis passes behind the rectus abdominis muscle. [2] [3] All aponeuroses of the rectus sheath unite at (and and decussate across) the midline, forming the linea alba. [3] Below the arcuate line
Diastasis recti, or rectus abdominis diastasis, is an increased gap between the right and left rectus abdominis muscles. [1] The increased distance between the muscles is created by the stretching of the linea alba , a connective collagen sheath created by the aponeurosis insertions of the transverse abdominis , internal oblique , and external ...
The transverse abdominal muscle (TVA), also known as the transverse abdominis, transversalis muscle and transversus abdominis muscle, is a muscle layer of the anterior and lateral (front and side) abdominal wall, deep to (layered below) the internal oblique muscle.
The linea alba is a white, fibrous band that is made of the bilateral rectus sheaths that join at the anterior midline of the body. These enclose the rectus abdominis muscles (a pair of long, linear muscles, commonly called the “sit-up” muscles) that originate at the pubic crest and pubic symphysis, and extend the length of the body’s trunk.
Maylard incision is a surgical incision in which a transverse cut is made on rectus abdominis muscle to allow wider access to the pelvic cavity. It is also called Mackenrodt incision. For gynaecological surgery, the skin incision is made 5–8 cm above the pubic symphysis.
