[Rise and mix of membrane anatomy]

Area of Science:

• Surgical anatomy
• Gastrointestinal surgery
• Oncology

Background:

• Traditional anatomical definitions of the mesentery are incomplete.
• Clinical observations and surgical practice reveal a more complex structure.

Purpose of the Study:

• To redefine membrane anatomy in a broader sense, including mesentery and its associated beds.
• To provide a new anatomical framework for surgical practice.

Main Methods:

• Integration of clinical surgical results.
• Incorporation of optic observation.
• Reconciliation of traditional anatomical theories.

Main Results:

• Membrane anatomy is conceptualized as a body/bloc, not just a plane.
• Identified as a channel/pathway for physiological events.
• Includes mesentery beds, providing context for mesenteric structures.

Conclusions:

• Adopting this new membrane anatomy map can decrease surgical hazards.
• It is expected to reduce postoperative oncological recurrence.
• Discovery of new mesenteries will optimize surgical operations and improve outcomes.
