よくある質問

What is the abdominal fascia?
The abdominal fascia (endo-abdominopelvic fascia) is a layer of fibrous connective tissue that forms part of the structural lining of the abdomen. It encompasses and invests the abdominal muscles, organs, and neurovascular structures, providing organization and support.
Where is the abdominal fascia located?
Abdominal fascia is found both on the inner surface of the abdominal wall (the endoabdominal fascia, also called transversalis fascia) and as investing sheaths around the muscles of the abdominal wall. It extends continuously into the pelvic region.
What is the function of the abdominal fascia?
Abdominal fascia provides structural support to the abdominal wall, separates anatomical compartments, and serves as a pathway for blood vessels and nerves. It also plays a role in transmitting tension across the abdominal wall during movement.
What conditions can affect the abdominal fascia?
Fascial planes can be disrupted by hernias, surgical incisions, or trauma. Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare but life-threatening bacterial infection affecting fascia. Fascial adhesions following surgery can cause chronic pain and restricted movement.
What are the main layers of the abdominal fascia?
Key fascial layers in the abdomen include the transversalis fascia (innermost, lining the abdominal wall), the anterior and posterior rectus sheaths (enclosing the rectus abdominis), and Scarpa's fascia (a membranous layer of the superficial abdominal fascia).
