Abstract

Toldt’s fascia is continuous from the root region of the mesentery at the superior mesenteric artery, to the anorectal junction, where it both expands and condenses to form Waldeyer’s fascia. This continuity is disrupted only at the peritoneal reflections, the zones of adherence in the pelvis, and where major vessels enter or leave the mesentery. The right mesocolic fascia, the left mesocolic fascia, and the mesosigmoidal and mesorectal fascia are different regions of the same contiguous structure. Macroscopically, it resembles adhesions that may arise after abdominal surgery.
