Wherever mesentery attaches to retroperitoneum, a
distinct fascial layer (Toldt’s fascia) occurs between both

tant as it generates the plane that is exploited in good quality
colorectal surgery. A surgical plane is dened as the interface
between two contiguous surfaces. Surgical planes provide an
anatomic roadmap by which structures may be freed from
their normal anatomic attachments to permit safe division
and resection. e plane used most oen in colorectal surgery occurs at the interface between the mesothelium on
the under surface of the mesentery and Toldt’s fascia, that
is, the mesofascial plane. Components of this plane may

NOMENCLATURE: THE VISCERAL
ANDPARIETAL PERITONEUM
Mesenteric mesothelium is smooth surfaced, highly
functional, and comprises a single layer of cuboidalshaped cells [25]. It closely resembles pleural mesothelium
and is similar to peritoneum elsewhere within the abdomen. Manyanatomic texts subdivide the abdominal peritoneum into “parietal” and “visceral” regions. Parietal
peritoneum lines the inner aspect of the abdominal wall
while visceral peritoneum covers the abdominal viscera
neum (i.e.,beneath Toldt’s fascia) corresponds to “parietal peritoneum” (Figure 4.1). It is not uncommon for
these to be referred to as the visceral and parietal fascia,
respectively [28–36]. As they are not anatomic fascia, this
terminology is inaccurate. Moreover, it is also confusing
as the only true fascia in this region is Toldt’s fascia, that
is, the fascia interposed between the visceral and parietal
peritoneum.
roughout this book, the terms “visceral” and “parietal”
peritoneum will be adopted and the term “fascia” will be
reserved exclusively for Toldt’s fascia (Figure 4.3) [37].

IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS
OFMESENTERIC MESOTHELIUM
Immunohistochemical evaluation of surface mesenteric mesothelium demonstrates expression of markers including D2-40
(podoplanin) and CD-35 [26,38]. Few studies have directly
focused on surface marker expression in mesenteric versus
nonmesenteric mesothelium. Indeed, no studies have examined

expression relates to cellular functionality, this is a key area for
future research. Table4.1 provides a summary of the surface
markers associated with peritoneal mesothelium in general.
Although it is feasible the properties listed can be extrapolated
to the mesenteric context, this should be investigated.

MESENTERIC CONNECTIVE TISSUE
LAT TICE
A connective tissue layer occurs underneath mesenteric
visceral peritoneum. is is the “submesothelial connective tissue layer.” It is highly variable in thickness and
composition. In some regions, it is well developed, while
in others it is entirely absent (Figure 4.5). For example, it
Submesothelial

is well developed on the upper surface of the transverse
mesocolon, where the latter is adherent to the greater
omentum. It is also well developed on the lateral aspect
of mesosigmoid. is distribution appears to correlate
with the presence of congenital adhesions. For example,
congenital adhesions are prominent at the lateral aspect of
the mesosigmoid. ey also cause the greater omentum to
adhere to the upper surface of the transverse mesocolon.

52 Histology of the mesentery
Submesothelial
Mesenteric and intestinal connective tissue
Connective tissue branches, or septae, extend from the
submesothelial connective tissue into the substance of the
mesentery, separating the latter into adipocyte compartments. Adipocytes are packaged in a honeycomb-like conformation (Figure 4.5) and together contribute the main
bulk of the mesentery. In certain mesenteric regions, adipocytes are minimal and both mesenteric mesothelial surfaces
come into close apposition (Figure 4.5b,c) [23,25,26].
Macroscopically, these regions are identiable as being near
translucent. is property is of particular surgical relevance
as it enables the surgeon to divide through the mesentery
with minimal bleeding (Figure 4.5c).
Taken together, the connective tissue septae and submesothelial connective tissue layer generate a lattice, the “mesenteric connective tissue lattice” (Figure 4.6a and b). is is
present throughout the mesentery. At the gastrointestinal
margin, it is continuous with connective tissue in outer layers of the gastrointestinal tract (Figure 4.6b and c). Here, the
lattice contributes directly to the formation of the intestinal

serosa. e serosa in turn contributes connective tissue to
the longitudinal and circular smooth muscle layers. Within
the mesentery, the lattice encases vessels contributing to the
adventitia of these.
Where major vessels enter or leave the mesentery, the
connective tissue of the lattice coalesces with that of the
underlying fascia to form a connective tissue cu or adventitia. e perivascular connective tissue cu is also of surgical relevance as it means that the mesentery can be readily
cleared from vascular surfaces, with minimal disruption of
either vessel or mesentery.
e submesothelial connective tissue layer is largely
acellular. However, cell clusters occur at points where septations arise (Figure 4.7a). Analysis of serial sections demonstrates that on occasion, isolated cell clusters occur. e cells
within these clusters have mesenchymal features, resembling broblast and myobroblasts. is is in keeping with
earlier ndings suggesting that cells within the submesothelial connective tissue layer have surface markers that are

intermediate between mesothelial and mesenchymal cells
[23,25,26]. Itisfeasible that mesenchymal cells within these
clusters are derived from overlying mesenteric mesothelium.
e connective tissue lattice also houses a lymphatic network (Figure 4.7b and c). Lymphatic vessels are identiable
in the submesothelial connective tissue monolayer as well
as in septations. e frequency with which lymphatic vessels are identied varies (though not signicantly) between
mesenteric regions. In submesothelial connective tissue,
lymphatic vessels measure 10.2 ± 4.1µm in diameter and
have an average radius of diusion of 174.72 ± 97.68µm.
is means that a lymphatic vessel occurs every 0.17mm
(Figure 4.7b and c). Lymphatic vessels also occur in Toldt’s
fascia where they measure 4.3 ± 3.1µm in diameter and
have a radius of diusion of 165.12 ± 66.26µm. Collectively,
a rich lymphatic network occupies all levels of the mesenteric connective tissue lattice and may be vulnerable during
surgery [26].
suggest that mesenteric mesothelium may be plastic and
capable of dierentiating into multiple mesenchymal cell
types [42,50]. Foroutan etal. examined hematopoietic and
mesenchymal stem markers in mesothelial cells in peritoneal dialysate. ese were analyzed by cell culture, ow
cytometry, and immunophenotyping for CD45 and CD34
(hematopoietic stem cell markers), HBME-1 (mesothelial cell marker), and cytokeratin 18 (epithelial marker).
While mesothelial cells expressed classical mesothelial
and epithelial surface markers, they also expressed CD34
(mesenchymal marker) and CD45 (hematopoietic marker)
[42]. Both mesenteric mesothelia and lymphoepithelia are
known to express podoplanin [38,51–53]. Mesothelia elsewhere (e.g., hepatic and pleural) can undergo mesothelialto-mesenchymal transition [54–56]. Observations such as
these support the intriguing suggestion that mesenteric
mesothelial cells are not inert and could in fact contribute
to the local mesenchymal cellular pool [57–62]. is sug-

is property, when combined with the total surface area
of the extensively plicated mesentery, means that mesenteric mesothelium could represent a signicant stem cell
reservoir [63].

54 Histology of the mesentery
Derangements of mesenteric mesothelial plasticity may
contribute to multiple intraabdominal disease processes.
e origin of the cells responsible for adhesion formation
is not known. It is not unreasonable to suggest that surgical
disruption of mesenteric mesothelium may lead to a localized or widespread mesenchymal response that results in
adhesion formation [63,64].
All abdominal wall hernia (out with the acute setting)
have a mesothelial component. is could be explained as
follows. As mesothelium proliferates an invagination develops. Given the secretery properties of mesothelium, the
inner surface of this is highly lubricated and thus permits
both entry and exit of abdominal contents. e cumulative
eect of persistent mechanical pressures (including positive
intraperitoneal pressure) leads to an increase in size of the
mesothelial invagination and ultimately to clinical manifestation of the underlying pathology. Perhaps the best invivo
model of this phenomenon is the parastomal hernia. Stoma
creation requires formation of a defect in the abdominal wall.
At formation, the local parietal mesothelium is disrupted.
With time, a mesothelial invagination arises that carpets the
subcutaneous tissue and is oen associated with herniation
of adjacent bowel loops. is is the parastomal hernia.
Mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transformation may also
contribute to the development of Crohn’s or diverticular disease [65–69]. In Crohn’s disease, mesenteric lymphangiectasia occurs and correlates with the distribution of mucosal
abnormalities [70–73]. In patients with mesenteric adenitis, a pronounced lymphadenopathy occurs at the ileocecal
mesenteric conuence. Lymph nodes may also develop in
appendices epiploicae [74–76]. is is surprising as classic
descriptions indicate that lymph nodes are conned to major
vessels. e identication of nodes in appendices epiploices
(i.e., remote from major vessels) maybe further evidence of a
cellular ux involving nearby mesenteric mesothelium.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
e characterization of mesenteric histology has raised
several suggestions that prompt investigation. ese could
involve a characterization of the role of mesenteric mesothelium in several disease processes including adhesion formation, hernia development, and Crohn’s disease. e concept
of connective tissue contiguity should be explored in broader
terms. As has been demonstrated to date, the mesenteric connective tissue lattice is contiguous with that of adjacent intestine. e mesenteric connective tissue lattice also contributes
adventitia to contained vessels. ese ndings suggest that a
systemic connective tissue platform occurs, which receives
inputs from mesenteric and intestinal sources and which
could provide a novel route of disease spread (Figure 4.6).
SUMMARY
e cellular and extracellular composition of the mesentery
is similar from the root region to the anorectal junction.
Multiple levels of continuity (including connective tissue,
vascular, neurologic, and lymphatic) occur between mesentery and adjacent intestinal tract and between mesentery and
associated vessels. Characterization of mesenteric histology
provides opportunities to refresh approaches to several disease
processes including those involving systemic manifestations.

AIM
e primary aim is to demonstrate the nature of Toldt’s fascia at all intestinal levels distal to the duodenojejunal exure. Asecondary aim is to highlight the clinical relevance
of the fascia.
INTRODUCTION
Toldt’s fascia is the connective tissue layer that occurs between
attached regions of mesentery and retroperitoneum (or pelvis)
(Figure5.1) [1–4]. Several terms have been used in reference to
it. At the mesorectal level, the fascia is referred to as Waldeyer’s
fascia, the retrorectal fascia, Denonvillier’s fascia, and the endopelvic fascia. Surrounding the kidney Toldt’s fascia is termed
Gerota’s or the anterior pararenal fascia. Toldt’s characterization
of the distribution of the fascia was remarkably accurate
and closely mirrors current descriptions (Figure 5.2) [5].
Fortunately, Toldt worked with cadavers that had not been subjected to corrosive preservatives. As the fascia is exquisitely thin
in particular regions, preservatives obliterate it, leading to the
erroneous impression that it is absent in that region. In normal
circumstances, the fascia is dicult to visualize unaided. ese
properties explain why Toldt’s ndings have yet to be generally
accepted[5,6]. Morerecently, the development of colorectal

surgery in general and of laparoscopic and robotic technologies has shown that the fascia is universally present between the
mesentery and retroperitoneum [7–17].
DEVELOPMENT
Toldt suggested that the fascia arose aer the visceral peritoneum of the mesentery fused with the parietal peritoneum
of the retroperitoneum [4–6]. He suggested that during this
process epithelial monolayers were lost and the underlying connective tissue fused to generate the fascia. It is now
known that the visceral mesenteric and parietal peritoneal
layers are retained into adulthood and that the fascia develops between these. e resultant anatomic arrangement
forms a cornerstone in mesenteric-based gastrointestinal
surgery. Asa result, it is the focus of the current chapter.
COMPOSITION
e composition (and hence appearance) of Toldt’s fascia is
variable. Beneath the right mesocolon, it is well developed comprising multiple lamella of collagen [2,3,10]. Beneath the mesosigmoid and mesorectum, it is areolar and exquisitely delicate,
a property that has led to its comparison with angel hairs and
candy oss. As a result, it can oen be quite dicult to identify in
these regions. Variations in composition and appearance make
its identication dicult. is represents a signicant challenge
to both the novice and experienced surgeon. During colorectal
surgery operating in a plane beneath the fascia threatens retroperitoneal structures such as the ureters and gonadal vessels.
