PURPOSE: We aimed to determine the location and vertical distance of the umbilicus relative to the aortic bifurcation using computed tomography (CT), and assess their relationship with BMI among Turkish women and their implications for laparoscopic entry.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study included a total of 209 women undergoing abdominopelvic CT; the vertical distance between the aortic bifurcation and the umbilicus was evaluated on coronal sections. The distance between the skin and the parietal peritoneum was measured from the umbilical pit to the peritoneum, and the distance between the skin and the aorta was measured from the umbilical pit to the surface of the aortic bifurcation. The measurements were performed along the sagittal plane. The age, height, and weight of the patients were recorded. For comparison, women were divided into three groups according to BMI.
RESULTS: The aortic bifurcation was located above (cephalic to) the umbilicus in 30 patients in the non-obese group (48.4%), 54 patients in the overweight group (55.7%), and 34 patients (68%) in the obese group. The mean distances between the umbilicus and the parietal peritoneum were 15.1 ± 6.4, 19 ± 5.5, 27.2 ± 10.8 mm, respectively, in the non-obese group, overweight group, and obese group. The mean distances between the umbilicus and the aorta were 85.8 ± 26.3, 110 ± 2.9, 132.1 ± 26.7 mm, respectively, in the non-obese group, overweight group, and obese group.
CONCLUSIONS: The location of the umbilicus relative to the aortic bifurcation can vary according to age, BMI and ethnicity or nationality of patients; therefore, a surgeon should not stick to a particular angle of insertion during laparoscopic entry. It is better for surgeons to know their unique patient population.
