Named Fascial layers (eponymous fascial layers)
A list of all fascial layers which are named after the person who discovered them. Also known as Eponymous fascias. Essential for oral interviews in Surgery and Anatomy
Gerota's Fascia
Fascia of the kidney
Dartos fascia
Fascia of the scrotum
Buck's Fascia
Deep Fascia of the Penis
Camper's Fascia
Superficial Fascia of the abdomen
Scarpa’s fascia
Deep Fascia in the abdomen
Colles' Fascia
Perineal Fascia
It is sometimes considered a continuation of the Scarpa's Fascia
Sibson's fascia
Anchors the dome of the cervical pleura
Lines the cervical parietal pleura
Suprapleural Membrane
Lying on it are the subclavian vessels and other structures in the root of the neck. The function of the membrane is to provide rigidity to the thoracic inlet that prevents distortion due to changes in intrathoracic pressure during respiration.
Richet's Fascia
Umbilical Fascia
Relevant for Umbilical Hernia-> Weakened fascia leads to herniation
Waldeyer's Fascia
Retrosacral Fascia
Divides the retrosacral space into a superior and inferior compartments
Originates from the presacral parietal fascia at S2-S4, and fuses with the visceral fascia at the posterior aspect of the Rectum
Denonvilier's Fascia
Rectovesicular Septum
Trietz' Fascia
Fascia behind the head of the pancreas
Cloquet's Fascia
Membranous layer of the superficial perineal fascia
Dupuytren's Fascia
Palmar fascia
Hesselbach's fascia
Cribiform fascia
Toldt's fascia
Point of fixation of all fascial planes behind the body of the pancreas
Gerota's Fascia
Fascia of the kidney
Dartos fascia
Fascia of the scrotum
Buck's Fascia
Deep Fascia of the Penis
Camper's Fascia
Superficial Fascia of the abdomen

Cantlie's Line: A Brief Overview
Cantlie's line represents one of the most significant anatomical landmarks in hepatobiliary surgery, serving as the principal plane for dividing the liver into functional left and right lobes. This surgical boundary has revolutionized our approach to hepatectomies and remains crucial for modern liver surgery, from traditional resections to advanced transplantation techniques.

External Iliac Artery
The external iliac artery is a major pelvic artery that continues as the femoral artery. It supplies the lower limb and gives off inferior epigastric and deep circumflex iliac branches.
