What is the pouch of Douglas?

The pouch of Douglas is also known as the rectouterine pouch and is a fold of peritoneum in the pelvis. What does that mean?

Absolutely fascinating, and so thorough! Thank you so much for the great camera angles, explanations and visuals. Super helpful! Love the way you teach!

I just had endometriosis removed from my pouch of Douglas. It makes so much sense now as to why I'd get pain upon going from lying down to standing during the second half of my cycle. Great explanation!

[@tewheke4186]

Your videos help me learn biology...which I am already learning in school...but our teachers only teach theory part.....thank u so much sir...

[@GatorAidMedical]

When i was scrubbed into a surgery, the surgeon asked me about the pouch of douglas. We had the chance to remove a pelvic abscess. One difference between men and women: since men do not have a uterus, they are more likely to form rectovesical fistulas, while women, having that uterus in between, form rectovaginal fistulas. Pelvic abscesses sit in the pouch of Douglas from things such as crohn's disease, diverticulitis, etc.

Such a brilliant way of showing the anatomy - cling film -⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great visual explanation. I am biologist , but haven’t know that place in human body 😬 Thank you! My gynecologist noticed 6 months ago 4ml of free liquid in Douglas pouch, now they are 6 ml 🫣 I am under periodic observation and hope this is nothing to worry about 🙏

Just a little note about the first time I ever heard about the pouch of Douglas was in a Netflix video called Douglas by Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby. Her dog is named Douglas but she tells the story about a male physician called James Douglas who "discovered" it!

Also pouch of Douglas is the most common location of abdominal pregnanacy which is a rare ectopic pregnancy. Not to confuse with the most common ectopic pregnancy location which is ampulla of fallopian tube!

Thank you Sir. I am 27yrs old and I’m just told that I have copious fluid in pouch of Douglas after an ultrasound. I will be returning for second opinion and solution tomorrow but, I am scared. I worry about reproduction and possibly corrective measures. Are they side effects if I go through a surgery? What kind is required for correction?

[@jezzaminmercado6537]

Hi i just saw your video, i had ultrasound last night and the impression is i have complex cyst in pouch of douglas, i had peritonitis last year because of Lap. appendectomy last year, is having a cyst in pouch of douglas connected to peritonitis complication?

Please show about pouch of hepatorenal

[@jeffreysdavis]

Only thing I noticed was you said naming was superficial to deep, which is relative to an anterior approach. Should be anterior to posterior instead, which is an absolute description

[@SamWebster]

Superficial to deep is relative to the surface of the body. E.g. skin is superficial to muscle, bones are deep to muscle.

[@jeremiahbaker6396]

thank youu also i remember the first time i heard this word. embryology year one lol good and bad memories. if memory serves it is a potential site of ectopic pregnancy

[@R.ARizwan]

Good sr

[@gandalf7961]

You mentioned that the pouch of Douglas is the inferior-most space of the peritoneal cavity but wouldn’t it be more correct to say ‘of the abdominal cavity’ as technically the peritoneal cavity is the small cavity between the visceral & parietal layers of the peritoneum and not the two parietal layers (uterine & rectal parietal peritoneum)? I might be overthinking this. Thank you very much in advance!

[@SamWebster]

You can make this even more confusing: the peritoneum of the pouch of Douglas is covering organs so it is visceral peritoneum. Or is it? Plus, it is in the pelvis, so it is not the abdominal cavity. Or is it? The pouch of Douglas is part of the peritoneal cavity and is continuous with the other parts of the peritoneal cavity. It is difficult to describe and understand the peritoneal cavity, so the description of the peritoneal cavity being between parietal and visceral peritoneum is a good starting point, but that description doesn't hold up everywhere. Tricky!

[@rajvirvyas8651]

@@SamWebster How does parietal peritoneum land into discussion? We are talking about a space bw two visceral parts(Rectum and Uterus)…Anyways great explanation.

[@favouramarachi1853]

it's normal for pouch of Douglas to be empty for a woman trying to Conceive ?
