Retroperitoneal space and Retroperitoneal organs

[@bin6466]

Funny to think that when you posted this video I was 14 and now I'm watching it for Medschool, after all these years it still continues to be a big help for people. Thank you for your job, amazing videos.

[@TheNotedAnatomist]

That's awesome ... thank-you!

[@Renguagua]

I've always been the medical student who love physiology but absolutely hate anatomy cuz it just doesn't make sense. Well, you are lectures are so good that they just make sense to me and is even making me starting to like anatomy! I wish I found this channel back when I was in first year. I shall rewatch all the content before I start clerkship next year. Thank You!

[@TheNotedAnatomist]

Thanks very much 🙏🏻

[@Kumaran2471989]

I never truly understood why the ascending/descending colon were considered retroperitoneal until now. Thank you and God bless you

[@gimlithedwarf7502]

I'm a Syrian medical student and this excessive explanation is very good, thumbs up!

[@danielbohn]

This is art! What a job, Dr. Morton! Salute from Brazil!

[@soalypin4782]

I love how you summarize what you just taught us at the end of the video. Thank you!

[@nethus1635]

I am a sri lankan medical student. I am always your fan. Thank you sir. Love you 😘

[@janhaviharwani2589]

Thank you so much Dr.Morton for this amazing lecture all my doubts regarding the topic are clear now and my anatomical knowledge has improved just b/c of you. Hope in future also your lectures would help me to become great surgeon and a good doctor. Lots of love from this young medico from INDIA.

[@terrytong8665]

AAAAMAZING !! teachings like this makes it 1 million times easier to pass the subject =P

[@LetsGetRadio93]

No words to express how much i love ur lectures and your voice is ❤️

[@Gymnopediea]

[@chunkymonkey2782]

you should consider a side job of teaching anatomy professors how to teach anatomy

[@jamesk896]

chunkymonkey2782 can’t agree anymore lol

[@jigyasadwivedi3065]

Yep, please consider this

[@Seeryne]

[@khamikos1]

excellent presentation... thanks from Greece

[@ivyganiron5474]

You made my life easy, thank you so much.

[@robertobombari1039]

At 12:24 the ascending colon and then the descending colon are inverted in the cross section. The ascending is on the right and the descending on the left.

[@terezarolnikova]

nope, it’s correct, you’re looking at that from the bottom (it’s mentioned in the vid)

[@pestbest]

Thank you sir, great lesson helped me understand really well

[@I_love_BTS_2025]

[@nixarivera8295]

You are amazing. Not everyone who knows the material can teach, thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents. I only have one suggestion: please please please raise the volume while editing the video. DX I have had the volume on max both in phone and in the laptop and it still sound low.

[@nataliafernandes8927]

Thank you very much!! Regards from Brazil!

[@bunclip]

1:05: 'Organs are considered retroperitoneal if they have peritoneum on their anterior side only....SHINGGGG!' Missed the old shingggg, back again! Thank you Dr 😅

Have you ever considered doing an anatomy video to focus on embryology and the development/origin of certain anatomical structures?

[@TheNotedAnatomist]

Hi Kellyann, Thank-you for your question. I am interested in doing embryo videos but i am still working on the anatomy videos for now ... i am not sure when i will get to illustrating and creating embryo videos.

[@12kpint]

+The Noted Anatomist can't wait until you do because the anatomy videos are amazing!

[@chunkymonkey2782]

you will help so many medical students... embryology is so hard to grasp from 2d pictures on powerpoint slides. 3d animation is crucial because of all the crazy morphing that happens in development

[@TheNotedAnatomist]

You are so right on that ... embryology is on my list of things to hit.

[@FeeAlfadhal]

"my left? your right? I never get that right.." lol

[@Dr1S]

This happens only with ct view,because you see ct section looking at the patient while he is lying down, and you look from his foot, so right side (liver) will appear left but you can’t say the liver is left side, it’s still right. Thanks alot for great video, surgeon, Saudi Arabia

[@nicolelegaspi6967]

hiii, can kidney a be removed without cutting through the parietal peritoneum?

[@TheNotedAnatomist]

Yes ... the kidneys are accessed by entering the retroperitoneal space by going posterior to the parietal peritoneum. In this way the peritoneal cavity stays intact.

[@prmodk1297]

Do someone has written notes of this topic please 🙏🙏🙏

[@Kurd94oslo]

8:40 , veins has tributaries. Arteries has branches.

[@rawandspicy]

any retroperitoneal lymph node videos?

[@AshokKumar-xh8sr]

Sir actaully the asc colon u mention should be des colon as in one place the fig at 12: 49 labeling r crossed ....

[@donchestsurgeon]

sad pucker ,good

[@kararikariuki8208]

Amazing video...it's really helpful and makes this stuff easy to grasp. Thanks. Quick question though, did you say the femoral and obturator nerves are both from ventral rami?... 17.12 to 17.24

[@TheNotedAnatomist]

Yes, the ventral rami from L2-L4 give rise to both the obturator nerve and femoral nerve.

[@MuhammadAhsan-mp8hq]

[@arixii3796]

what does that whole physio thing about the adrenal glands have to do with retroperitoneum?

[@TheNotedAnatomist]

The adrenal glands are located in the retroperitoneal space ... is that what you are asking?

[@dconley2112]

Abdominal esophagus is not retroperitoneal. It's right margin attaches to the lesser omentum while its left margin attaches to the gastrophrenic ligament. Most texts consider it intraperitoneal . Also, the rectum begins at S-2, so it is behind the peritoneum in the pelvic cavity, not the abdominal cavity, so it cannot be considered in the retroperitoneum as the other organs you mention in the video.

[@TheNotedAnatomist]

+David Conley Hi David, thanks for your comment. You are correct ... the esophagus in the abdominal cavity is "intraperitoneal". I just watched that portion of my video again and should have been more clear in what i said. When i lecture on the course of the esophagus (far more detail in the thoracic cavity) I discuss the difference between "serosa" and "adventitia" and introduce the concept of "retroperitoneal". For this video i did not (but should have) discussed this concept. Thanks for your observations. Regrading the rectum, this is a really a matter of words ... the concept of retroperiteonal is that an organ is within the extracoelomic space. If the organ is behind the peritoneum (like the kidneys) the organ is considered "retro" (behind) the peritoneum. If an organ is behind the peritoneum (like the rectum) it is still considered "retro" because it is behind. If we continue, the bladder is below the peritoneum so it is considered "infra" peritoneal. The kidney, rectum and bladder are all in the same fascial plane. That is why when i lecture on these topics i like the term "extracoelomic" because it describes all structures outside of the coelom (peritoneum in the case of the abdominal cavity). Does that help?

[@AliNaz43]

isn't the Medial Sacral artery part of the unpaired branches of the abdominal aorta Dr?

[@TheNotedAnatomist]

Ali Naz Yes it is ... The video tutorials are not meant to be 100% comprehensive but I try to hit the major, clinically relevant points.

[@AliNaz43]

The Noted Anatomist well, nevertheless your videos are great help! Thank you.

[@zahraabdirahman8541]

Does the common iliac artery collect blood from external and internal iliac arteries or veins? and the drain into the IVC?? I think i heard collect blood from internal&external iliac veins? Thank you for the response!!!!!!!!!!

[@michelecoryse]

The common iliac ARTERY supplies the external and internal iliac arteries. The common iliac VEIN collects blood from the external and internal iliac veins. Does that help?

[@zahraabdirahman8541]

michelecoryse yes thank yo! I thought it collected blood from the internal and external iliac arteries😅 also can you please make a video of superficial back muscles and the posterior abdominal muscles!! YOU EXPLAIN SO GOOD! I AM THANKFUL TO HAVE COME ACROSS YOUR CHANNEL!!! THANK YOU

[@Nik12251114]

So good, except the voice is a little too low and weak. Maybe tune that up a bit?

[@INIYA-Chennai-Guy]

u could have added the vertebral levels

[@TheNotedAnatomist]

THnaks for the suggestion

[@abbasalzamly1184]

very im very appreciated but there was a probem in the voice

[@TheNotedAnatomist]

What was the problem?

[@abbasalzamly1184]

VERY LOW

[@thameraljishi1484]

i fell asleep to your voice

[@TheNotedAnatomist]

:) That is great

[@Dazzletoad]

Epic fail, and way too fast. The reason people turn to videos is so that they don't have to read over and over. Congratulations, you created a source which in the beginning at least, that people have to see again and again because of the pacing.

[@TheNotedAnatomist]

Dazzletoad thank-you for watching the video and for your feedback. I will keep that in mind as I make more videos.

[@everydayjay]

The pacing is just right for me. In fact, I keep it on 1.25x speed

[@bunclip]

At least he's made the effort. Criticism should be constructive.

[@Dazzletoad]

@@bunclip criticism should be however I choose to give it and however others choose to receive it. It was constructive. I gave my impression and my reasons why, what more do you want? Are you here to be offended on someone elses behalf? The original poster took it in good stride, and acknowledged the criticism with grace, and I commend him for that. Then here you are overflowing with ignorance telling me how criticism should be - a remark you couldn't seriously make had you actually read my comment 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@bunclip]

@@Dazzletoad just thought it sounded a bit spiteful. Never mind
