Summary
This study details the complex female pelvic anatomy, identifying new structures like the urethro-clitorido-vulvar erectile body. Understanding this detailed pelvic anatomy is crucial for functional studies.
Area of Science:
- Anatomy
- Pelvic Health
- Surgical Anatomy
Background:
- The female pelvis presents significant anatomical complexity.
- Detailed anatomical understanding is essential for clinical practice and research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present detailed anatomical sections of the female pelvis.
- To identify and describe newly recognized pelvic structures.
Main Methods:
- Anatomical studies of adult and fetal cadavers.
- Pelvic ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Main Results:
- Diagrammatic frontal and lateral sections of the female pelvis were created.
- Newly identified structures include the urogenital fossa, pubosacral perineal cord, and urethro-clitorido-vulvar erectile body.
- Detailed descriptions of the ischiorectal fossa and uro-genito-rectal mesentery were provided.
Conclusions:
- The study provides a comprehensive anatomical map of the female pelvis.
- The identified structures and detailed descriptions facilitate further functional anatomical studies.
