Peritoneal spaces are separate compartments within the peritoneal cavity. These spaces are separated or compartmentalized by various peritoneal ligaments and their attachments.
The peritoneal spaces are significant in the peritoneal diseases, ascites, intraperitoneal collections or peritoneal metastasis.
Peritoneal cavity can be divided into following spaces:
-
supramesocolic space:
- right supramesocolic space
- left supramesocolic space
-
inframesocolic space:
- right inframesocolic space
- left inframesocolic space
- right and left paracolic gutters
- pelvic spaces
- paravesicle spaces
- rectovasicle pouch
- rectouterine pouch (pouch of Douglas): in females
