Peritoneum and Fascia
Captions available
The idea
The deeper layers of an abdominal closure are the peritoneum and the connective tissue of the abdominal wall, including the rectus sheath and the midline.
In practice
These layers support the abdominal wall, and the surgeon chooses strong suture for them.
Where people slip
The closing count happens before these layers are closed, while the abdomen can still be searched.
