Abstract
The aim of the study is to determine peculiarities of arcuate line topography. Material and methods. 30 unfixed corpses of persons of both sexes without signs of the anterior abdominal wall were examined. The preparation of the anterior abdominal wall with the determination of the position of the arc-shaped line along the median line in relation to the umbilical ring and the upper margin of the pubic symphysis was performed at autopsy. Results. In the analyzed sectional material arched aponeurotic vagina of the rectus abdominis most often located below the umbilical ring (93%) in the region of the upper third of the segment connecting the lower edge of the umbilical ring and the upper margin of the pubic symphysis (50%). It is also shown, that in females, the arched aponeurotic vagina of the rectus abdominis relative to the umbilical ring was located much lower (5.4±0.8 cm), compared with males (3.5±0.7 cm). The data obtained can be used in planning of muscular-aponeurotic flap of anterior abdominal wall in reconstructive surgery.
