The detachment of peritoneal adherences as forms the basis of many gastrointestinal surgical procedures is shown in a dissection specimen. The greater omentum is detached from the transverse colon, giving access to the omental bursa. The descending colon and mesocolon are detached, the so-called left visceral rotation. The Cattel-Braasch manoeuvre - detaching and lifting the ascending (meso) colon and small intestines, to give access to the peritoneal back wall - is demonstrated. This also unveils the hidden part of the duodenum. Finally, it is shown how the mesocolons and the mesentery of the small intestine form a continuity that rotated with the intestines embryologically.
