Abstract:
The anatomy of the GE junction is represented by computer synthetised pictures. This method allows to represent different organs from different angles, emphasis being put on the laparoscopic angle of vision. This should improve anatomical comprehension. The synthetic pictures have been constructed in a figurative representation. Fatty tissues have been omitted whereas the peritoneal layers covering organs and defining spaces are enhanced.
