Fenestration

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term fenestration (of lat. Fenestra , dt. , Window; eingedeutscht windowing , engl. Fenestration ) is in the medicine used in many ways.

In surgery for a window-like tissue cutout, such as in an eye muscle operation . If this is an access to an organ, one speaks of an external fenestration . An example of this is the Caldwell-Luc operation to open the maxillary sinus. If two hollow systems are connected to one another, one speaks of an inner fenestration . This is the case , for example, with the Läwen bar windowing . Another example of windowing is the arcade windowing .

In anatomy , the openings in blood capillaries (= fenestrated capillaries) and lymph vessels are called fenestrations.
