Abstract

Abstract
Laparoscopic anatomy of the abdo- men is an applied anatomical study, which provides an accurate and detailed description of the anatomy of the abdomen of donkey positioned in dorsal recumbency. It has a diagno- stic and a therapeutic surgical impor- tance. The laparoscopy was perfor- med on ten adult apparently healthy male donkeys average of 7-12 years old. In order to record the normal laparoscopic anatomy of the abdo- men in dorsal recumbency. The preoperative techniques were consi- dered. General anesthesia was induced and maintained with total intravenous agents. Laparoscope was delivered into the abdomen via an umbilical main cannula. Laparo- scope and associated video recor- ding system were used to obtain a clear, magnified and panoramic shoots of the abdominal cavity. The anatomical findings obtained were more real and vital than that of fixed cadavers. The peristaltic motility as well as the vascularization of the serous layer of peritoneum and the abdominal organs was notified. The study described two dangerous tri- angular areas; TD and TP especially during endoscopic repair of inguinal hernia. The work is considered as a gate to further endoscopic anatomy and the donkey was an ideal experimental model.
