An organ, which is surrounded by the peritoneum and has a supporting mesentery, is defined as an intraperitoneal organ(e.g. spleen, liver, and transversecolon). An organ, which is only partially covered by the peritoneum and has no supporting mesentery, is defined as a retroperitoneal
or extraperitoneal organ (e.g. bladder, pancreas, kidney, ascending colon, and descendingcolon).
