Rectus abdominis spans the length of the anterior abdominal wall (Standring 2016). It originates by a lateral tendon that is attached to the pubic crest and a medial tendon that is attached closer to the pubic symphysis (Standring 2016). Rectus abdominis typically attaches superiorly to the fifth through seventh costal cartilages and to the xiphoid process (Standring 2016). Rectus abdominis is interrupted by three transverse tendinous intersections that typically intersect the muscle at (1) the level of umbilicus, (2) the level of the end of the xiphoid process, and (3) the area approximately midway between those two (Standring 2016).
Understanding the Maternal Passage

Boundaries of the inlet: The inlet is bound anteriorly by the upper border of the pubic symphysis. It continues along the pubic tubercle, pubic crest, iliopectineal eminence, and pectineal line. It ends posteriorly by the linea terminalis on the ala of the sacrum to the sacral promontory (upper border of the S1 vertebra). This area bounded by the margins is the plane of the inlet.

The rectus muscles originate from the pubic crest, pubic symphysis and pubic tubercle and insert onto the costal cartilages of ribs 5 to 7 and the xiphoid process. They are separated by the linea alba in the midline and the linea semilunaris along their lateral border (Figure 3.8).

The procedure starts with two 10 mm incisions in both left and right iliac fossae, and one 10 mm incision in the midline slightly above the pubic crest. In smaller animals, the incision in the right fossae can be done slightly above the one in the left to improve the triangulation of the instruments. Dissection continued with muscle exposure followed by a single purse-string suture with polyglactin 910 4-0 around each incision. Then, the anterior wall of the abdominal cavity was pulled by the purse-string sutures in order to allow insertion of three 5 mm trocars. The first trocar inserted in the suprapubic site under direct view was used for the optics. A careful manual inflation was done until the pressure reached 5.0 mmHg. The two remaining trocars were inserted under direct view in the incisions made in the left and right iliac fossae using the same insertion technique (Figure 2).
