Computer-assisted anatomic dissection (CAAD) offers a novel 3D method for visualizing pelvic nerve distribution and fiber types. This technique enhances understanding of complex anatomical structures for surgical and educational purposes.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomical Research
  • Morphological Sciences
  • Neuroanatomy

Background:

  • Classic anatomical dissection has limitations in precisely locating and identifying nerve fibers.
  • Current methods struggle with micro-determination of nerve fiber location and nature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the evolution of computer-assisted anatomic dissection (CAAD) as an original method.
  • To study the distribution of intra-pelvic nerves using CAAD.

Main Methods:

  • Serial transverse sectioning of pelvic regions (rabbit, human fetus, infant, adult).
  • Immunohistochemical staining and high-resolution digital scanning of sections.
  • 3D reconstruction using Photoshop 7 and WinSurf software.

Main Results:

  • Precise 3D identification of prostate innervation in all age groups.
  • Accurate mapping of adrenergic and cholinergic pathways within pelvic organs.
  • Virtual dissection detailing the inferior hypogastric plexus and its fiber distribution.

Conclusions:

  • CAAD is an innovative method for anatomical research, demonstrating descriptive anatomy's dynamic nature.
  • Enables 3D visualization of innervation, nerve fiber types, and neurotransmitter distribution.
  • Improves understanding of complex pelvic anatomy for surgical and educational applications.
