The paracolic gutters are connected to the subphrenic spaces above and pelvic space below.
Left paracolic gutter.
The left lateral paracolic gutter.
The left lateral paracolic gutter the right lateral paracolic gutter.
Both paracolic spaces are in continuity with the pelvic peritoneal spaces.
Paracolic gutters refer to open areas between the wall of the abdomen and the colon.
The left paracolic gutter is a component of the left inframesocolic space partially separated from the left subphrenic spaces by the phrenicocolic ligament.
Both paracolic spaces are in continuity with the pelvic peritoneal spaces.
It can allow passage of infected peritoneal fluid from one space to the other intra abdominal spaces.
The right paracolic gutter is a component of the right inframesocolic space continuous superiorly with the right subhepatic and right subphrenic spaces.
The right and left paracolic gutters are peritoneal recesses on the posterior abdominal wall lying alongside the ascending and descending colon.
The right and left paracolic gutters are the spaces situated between the posterior abdominal wall back and the colon.
The right and left paracolic gutters are peritoneal recesses on the posterior abdominal wall lying alongside the ascending and descending colon.
Fluid in the left inframesocolic space 3 seeks the pelvis directly or is deposited on the superior aspect of the sigmoid mesocolon and then flows into the pelvis 4.
Either of two grooves formed by the peritoneum and lying respectively lateral to the ascending and descending colons.
The left gutter runs between the descending colon and the abdominal wall and just like the right gutter empties into the lower abdomen and pelvic area.
There are two paracolic gutters in a human body.
The main paracolic gutter lies lateral to the colon on each side.
The main paracolic gutter lies lateral to the colon on each side.
The left medial paracolic gutter.
Fluid in the pelvis may ascend the left paracolic gutter 5 but is stopped by the phrenicocolic ligament pcl.
The main paracolic gutter lies lateral to the colon on each side.
It is smaller than the right paracolic gutter.
The right and left paracolic gutters are peritoneal recesses on the posterior abdominal wall lying alongside the ascending and descending colon.
A less obvious medial paracolic gutter may be formed especially on the right side if the colon possesses a short mesentery for part of its length.
The left medial paracolic gutter.
