Anastomosis is the junction of two or more organs, tissues or body systems. This time we are talking about lumbopertoneal anastomosis (a. Lumboperitonale), which is a special type of connection between the lumbar spine and the abdominal space. This unique type of connection allows the body not only to ensure the smooth functioning of the circulatory and lymphatic systems, but also helps in the treatment of many diseases. In this article we will look at the basics of the lumboperitoneal anastomosis, its role in the body and methods of use for medical purposes.
Lumbar-peritoneal anastomosis connects the lumbar spine with the abdominal cavity, forming a closed system. It consists of three main components: lumbar interspinous - lies between the spinous processes of individual vertebrae of the lumbar spine. Thus, it makes possible the metabolism in the lower body and upper abdomen; Fascial - fibrous substance of the deep layer of fascia, which connects the intervertebral discs with the surrounding muscles; Spinal cord ligaments are the spinal lumbar ligaments that support the lumbar spine.
The main function of the anastomosis is to maintain the integrity of the human structure by connecting these three components to each other. At the same time, the anastomosis performs important functions in the body:
Maintaining the functionality of the spine - anastomosis allows you to maintain stability of the spine, which is especially important when
