FIG. 139. Further Stage of the Dissection of the Abdomen. 



The oesophagus and the gastro-phrenic ligament have been divided close 

 to the diaphragm. 



The gastro-splenic ligament has been divided close to the hilum of the 

 spleen. 



The transverse meso-colon has been divided close to its attachment to 

 the duodenum and the pancreas. 



The transverse colon has been divided close to the right and left colic 

 flexures ; and the stomach and the transverse colon, with the greater 

 omentum and its contained part of the omental bursa, have been removed. 



The jejunum has been divided close to the duodeno-jejunal flexure, and 

 the ileum close to the caecum, and the intervening part of the small intestine 

 and its mesentery have been removed. The peritoneum has been taken 

 away from the upper part of the posterior wall of the pelvis minor, and 

 from the area on the posterior wall of the abdomen which is bounded by 

 the caecum and the ascending colon on the right, and the descending and 

 iliac portions of the colon on the left. 



The peritoneum of the posterior wall of the upper part of the omental 

 bursa has also been removed. 



By the removal of the posterior wall of the upper part of the omental 

 bursa, the body and tail of the pancreas, the crura of the diaphragm, 

 the left inferior phrenic artery and a portion of the splenic artery have 

 been displayed. 



By the removal of the transverse colon and the greater part of the small 

 intestine, the transverse and ascending portions of the inferior part of the 

 duodenum have been brought into view ; and, by the removal of the peri- 

 toneum from the posterior wall of the lower part of the abdomen, the 

 ureters, and the vessels, nerves, and muscles lying immediately behind the 

 peritoneum in that region, have been exposed.
