“…Some authors [ 62 ] studied the structure of the spermatic cord by microanatomy and 3D reconstruction techniques and found that the spermatic cord contains two sets of fascial systems. These two fascial systems encircle the internal vascular plexus of the spermatic cord and the vas deferens and its accessory vessels, respectively.…”

“…Yang Yu et al [ 62 ]. found the existence of a separate fascial system surrounding the vascular plexus of the spermatic cord and considered it to be the internal spermatic fascia, and named the fascia surrounding the vas deferens and its accessory vessels as the vas deferens fascia, which is inconsistent with the traditional anatomical definition of the internal spermatic fascia.…”

Purpose Many researchers have different views on the origin and anatomy of the preperitoneal fascia. The purpose of this study is to review studies on the anatomy related to the preperitoneal fascia and to investigate the origin, structure, and clinical significance of the preperitoneal fascia in conjunction with previous anatomical findings of the genitourinary fascia, using the embryogenesis of the genitourinary system as a guide. Methods Publications on the preperitoneal and genitourinary fascia are reviewed, with emphasis on the anatomy of the preperitoneal fascia and its relationship to the embryonic development of the genitourinary organs. We also describe previous anatomical studies of the genitourinary fascia in the inguinal region through the fixation of formalin-fixed cadavers. Results Published literature on the origin, structure, and distribution of the preperitoneal fascia is sometimes inconsistent. However, studies on the urogenital fascia provide more than sufficient evidence that the formation of the preperitoneal fascia is closely related to the embryonic development of the urogenital fascia and its tegument. Combined with previous anatomical studies of the genitourinary fascia in the inguinal region of formalin-fixed cadavers showed that there is a complete fascial system. This fascial system moves from the retroperitoneum to the anterior peritoneum as the preperitoneal fascia. Conclusions We can assume that the preperitoneal fascia (PPF) is continuous with the retroperitoneal renal fascia, ureter and its accessory vessels, lymphatic vessels, peritoneum of the bladder, internal spermatic fascia, and other peritoneal and pelvic urogenital organ surfaces, which means that the urogenital fascia (UGF) is a complete fascial system, which migrates into PPF in the preperitoneal space and the internal spermatic fascia in the inguinal canal.

“…An important example of spatial assessment is the 3D reconstruction of digitalized histopathological tissue slide images (Figure 3) [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The 3D reconstruction of H&E images adds a spatial dimension that helps decipher growth patterns, the spatial distribution, and the relationships of tissues, as well as the colocalisation of stromal and tumour cells.…”

The role of pathology in patient management has evolved over time from the retrospective review of cells, tissue, and disease ('what happened') to a prospective outlook ('what will happen'). Examination of a static, two-dimensional hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained tissue slide has traditionally been the pathologist's primary task, but novel ancillary techniques enabled by technological breakthroughs have supported pathologists in their increasing ability to predict disease status and behaviour. Nevertheless, the informational limits of 2D, fixed tissue are now being reached and technological innovation is urgently needed to ensure that our understanding of disease entities continues to support improved individualized treatment options. Here we review pioneering work currently underway in the field of cancer pathology that has the potential to capture information beyond the current basic snapshot. A selection of exciting new technologies is discussed that promise to facilitate integration of the functional and multidimensional (space and time) information needed to optimize the prognostic and predictive value of cancer pathology. Learning how to analyse, interpret, and apply the wealth of data acquired by these new approaches will challenge the knowledge and skills of the pathology community.
