The peritoneum performs a number of functions related to the structural features of the circulatory and lymphatic channels of the organs. Covering the uterus, the peritoneum forms the perimeter, the lymphatic bed of which has local features throughout postnatal ontogenesis. The purpose of this study was to study the lymphatic bed of perimetry throughout postnatal ontogenesis. The lymphatic bed of the serous membrane of the uterus was studied on 25 preparations taken from corpses of different ages who died from causes not related to diseases of the pelvic organs. It has been established that involutive processes begin to manifest themselves earlier and to a greater extent in the superficial perimetric network than in the deep network, which lies in the deep collagen layer bordering the myometrium. Signs of reduction of the lymphatic bed of the perimeter were detected in earlier periods of ontogenesis, and, conversely, in old age it is not always possible to clearly detect pronounced signs of reduction of the lymphatic bed of the perimeter. These transformations determine the local characteristics of the perimetric lymphatic networks and represent an adaptive process to age-related changes in the structure of the organ.
