The right paracolic gutter is a component of the right inframesocolic space continuous superiorly with the right subhepatic and right subphrenic spaces.
Either of two grooves formed by the peritoneum and lying respectively lateral to the ascending and descending colons.
A less obvious medial paracolic gutter may be formed especially on the right side if the colon possesses a short mesentery for part of its length.
The right and left paracolic gutters are the spaces situated between the posterior abdominal wall back and the colon.
The main paracolic gutter lies lateral to the colon on each side.
