3D Printed Abdomen with Inguinal Hernia

3D Printed Abdomen with Inguinal Hernia Diaphragm and Xyphoid Process The diaphragm has been secured to the superior border of the dissected specimen with sutures to ensure an unobstructed view of the abdomen. The xyphoid process is in the middle of this sutured border. Liver and Gallbladder The liver in the right hypochondrium has been pushed laterally to reveal the kidney posterior to it.The falciform ligament divides the right and left anatomical lobes of the liver and enveloping ligamentum teres, which is a remnant of the umbilical vein which is present during foetal development.Below ligamentum teres at the inferior border of the liver in this model, the gall bladder is sandwiched between the anatomical lobes of the liver. Stomach and Splenic Vasculature The deflated stomach has been deflected superiorly to reveal the splenic artery and vein.The tortuous course of the splenic artery and vein can be observed as it approaches the spleen, giving off nu
