Excerpt from The Clinical Anatomy of the Gastro-Intestinal TractThe term anterior or ventral abdominal wall is usually restricted to the rhomboidal area between the costal margins above and the inguinal (poupart's) ligaments below.The lateral abdominal wall consists largely of the costal arches, but between the costal margin and the iliac crest is a small unprotected area, the ﬂank, an incision into which is properly termed laparotomy. The use of this word has been extended to cover an incision through the ventral abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity, which incision is correctly known as a coeliotomy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
