Abstract：
:Recent appraisals of mesenteric anatomy clarify its structure and show a continuous and helical-shaped organ. This new model signifies a departure from the conventional model which described multiple, separate "mesenteries". Renaissance anatomists depicted the mesentery as a continuous structure. Events that led to replacement of a continuous with a fragmented model span several centuries. In effect, the scientific and clinical community has come full circle and back to the Renaissance model. Here we review the historical development of our understanding of the mesentery. We discuss how the fragmented model replaced the continuous model. Additionally, we examine factors that contributed to recent advances in mesenteric anatomy as these present new opportunities for systematic investigation.
