OBJECTIVES: To study the clinical anatomy of the transversalis fascia (TF) and to explore the intertransversalis fascia approach in urologic laparoscopic operations (ULOs). DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Two academic hospitals. OTHER PARTICIPANTS: Data from 1217 urologic laparoscopic or open operations and 10 laparoscopic hernia repairs were analyzed between January 1, 2009, and April 30, 2011. Findings from 3 fresh autopsies were also included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The anatomy of the TF was studied and the intertransversalis fascia approach was explored in ULOs; furthermore, they were proved in the open operations and fresh autopsies. Photographs were taken from the intertransversalis fascia approach in ULOs, micrographs were obtained to examine the microscopic structure of the TF, and the color atlas of TF anatomy (cross and sagittal sections) was drawn. RESULTS: The TF is a general plane of connective tissue lying between the inner surface of the transversus abdominis and the extraperitoneal fat. It can be divided into 2 layers (superficial and deep), with an amorphous fibroareolar space between them. The intertransversalis fascia approach in ULOs is the approach between the 2 layers of the TF. CONCLUSIONS: The intertransversalis fascia approach is described for the first time, to our knowledge. Surgeons can obtain a clean, clear, and bloodless operating space in ULOs using the intertransversalis fascia approach. |
