Review of the anatomic concepts in relation to the retrorectal space and endopelvic fascia: Waldeyer’s fascia and the rectosacral fascia

Colorectal Disease, 2008
AbstractObjective  A precise anatomical study of the fascias within the retrorectal space is reported, analyzing and clarifying the anatomical concepts previously employed to describe Waldeyer’s and the rectosacral fascia.Method  The pelvis was dissected in 15 cadavers (10 males and five females). All specimens were divided in the median sagittal plane

A history of fascia

Clinical Anatomy, 2019
Fascia is a generic anatomical term that refers to a variety of the body's soft fibrous connective tissue parts. An expanding interdisciplinary interest in fascia might be accompanied by changes in how fascia is cognized. This study surveys the anatomical portrayal of fascia through history, with the aim of helping contextualize the ways it is now ...

The fascia: the forgotten structure

Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology, 2012
This paper examines the main characteristics of the human fascial system, considered in its three-dimensional continuity. To better understand the anatomy of the human fascial system, a simple diagram of the subcutaneous tissue must be borne in mind. From the skin to the deepest plane, we find the superficial fascia, dividing the subcutaneous tissue ...

Fibromatosis of the cervical fascia

American Journal of Otolaryngology, 2003
Fibromatosis is a rare benign soft-tissue tumor of fibroblastic origin arising from the aponeurotic structures. Preoperative diagnosis of fibromatosis of the deep cervical fascia is difficult from clinical presentation alone. We report a case of a tumor of the cervical fascia space for which the radiologic appearance did not exhibit specific ...

Thickening of pelvic fascia in carcinoma of the rectum

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1986
Computed tomography (CT) scan of the pelvis unreliably detects metastases to lymph nodes from rectal carcinoma. Alternative features of tumor spread visualized on pelvic CT scan may aid preoperative evaluation. Two patients in a series had thickened perirectal fascia due to tumor involvement.

Morphological features of fascia lata in relation to fascia diseases

Ultrastructural Pathology, 2016
Fascia lata is an important element of the fascial system, which forms the continuum of connective tissue throughout the body. This deep fascia envelops the entire thigh and hip area and its main function is to transmit mechanical forces generated by the musculoskeletal system of the lower extremities.

Obtaining Fascia Lata

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1987
The surgical procedure for obtaining fascia lata can be easily carried out by the ophthalmic surgeon. However, anatomy related to obtaining the tissue, as outlined in standard surgical textbooks, is not entirely accurate and should be clarified. The tissue necessary for strong frontalis slings should come from a thick band of fascia lata referred to as

The biomechanics of the thoracolumbar fascia

Clinical Biomechanics, 1987
The back muscles alone are unable to provide the extensor moment required to lift large weights, and must be aided by another source of anti-flexion moments. It has been postulated that contraction of the abdominal muscles can provide an extension moment by developing tension in the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF).
