Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

The abdominal wall surrounds the anterolateral aspect of the abdominal cavity, where many important organs are located.Chief layers of the abdominal wall include: Skin, Superficial fascia (the subcutaneous tissue which forms the thin, single layer above the umbilicus. Below the umbilicus, it is divided into two layers (1) the fatty superficial layer called Camper’s fascia and (2) the deep layer called Scarpa's fascia. Blood vessels and nerves run between these two layers.) Muscle, Fascia, Parietal peritoneum.
