Abstract

The present paper is aimed to observe the lateral attachment of the renal fascia RF in vivo with multidetector computed tomography MDCT scanning, and to discuss its diagnostic value. 121 healthy adults were adopted into this experiment. All images were obtained with MDCT and double phase enhancement scanning. Then we observed the lateral attachment of RF. In addition, we mad a fresh body specimen as anatomical basis. The study found that above the renal hilar plane RHP, the anterior renal fascia laterally fused with the peritoneum of the liver on the right and the peritoneum of the spleen on the left,and the posterior renal fascia fused with the subdiaphragmatic fascia. The lateral attachment of the RF at the RHP and the lower renal poleLRPis divided into three types. The RF in Type I is about 47.9% 58/121 at the left RHP, while about 33.9% 41/121 at the right RHP. At the LRP of the kidney is about 55.3% 67/121 on the left, and about 42.1% 51/121 on the right. The RF in Type I is about 38.8% 47/121 on the left side at the RHP, about 26.4% 32/121 on the right side. At the LRP, left side about 27.3% 33/121, right side about 13.3%16/121. The RF in Type III at the RHP is 13.3% 16/121 on the left side, and on the right side is about 39.7% 48/121. At the LRP, it is about 17.4% 21/121 on the left side, and about 44.6% 54/121 on the right side. MDCT can display the lateral attachment of the RF better as well as the outside connection of the retroperitoneal space.
