Anatomy of the Diaphragm and the Subxiphoidal Region
摘要
Our state of knowledge must be revised and updated with new observations from time to time. In surgery, this process often involves technological progress, such as the advent of robotics. Human history is full of examples of how the obvious is not examined neutrally and exhaustively, but gradually and in ever greater detail through the lens of worldview and scientific thought. Robotic-assisted repairs of the abdominal wall represent a new milestone in the history of surgery. With a sharp and unwavering image that reaches into the realm of sub-macroscopy, console surgeons can now explore exciting anatomical details that were previously undervalued. This advancement inspires the development of new, more precise procedures. Currently, in the context of the transversus abdominis release (TAR), the question arises anew: do we truly understand the anatomy we are dealing with? This chapter specifically addresses the endoscopic view of the musculoaponeurotic junction between the anterior abdominal wall and the diaphragm.
