Q

Route of which nerve + why? out greater sciatic foramen and into lesser sciatic foramen?

A

in order to access the perineum

doesn’t pierce levator ani which can impinge on it

Q

difference between
mid inguinal point
midpoint of inguinal ligament?

A

mid point of inguinal ligament (between asis + pubic tubercle)
- then palpate femoral pulse

other between asis + pubic symphysis

19

list but don’t know where they are
all supporting uterus
in addition to the lev ani

A

pubocervical (anterior)
transcervical (side wall)
sacrocervical (posterior)

20
Q

coccygeus muscle attachments

A

attaches to coccyx bone

21
Q

levator ani?

parts

A

puborectalis/pubo rectal sling (holds it forward)

pubic bone –> coccyx: pubococcygeus

iliococcygeus

22
Q

sphincters around the anus

A

external - voluntary
internal - involuntary

beneath skin: subcutaneous sphincter

23
Q

ureter + uterine vessels found?

A

pelvic floor

24
Q

ureter + uterine vessels relation

A

ureters pass deep to uterine vessels

water under the bridge

25

complication of hysterectomy?

A

damage to ureter when clamping uterine vessels

26
Q

pelvic lateral wall

A

obturator internus

27
Q

origin of levator ani

A

levator ani originates from fascia of obturator internus –> tendinous arc

28

obturator nerve origin

A

L2-L4

29

A

L2-L4

30

obturator artery branches off of…

obturator vein drains to …

A

internal iliac artery

internal iliac vein

31

pudendal nerve - accompanied by

A

internal pudendal artery + vein

drains into /branches from/ internal iliac

32

A

S2,3,4

33
Q

layers

A

bone - sacrum
muscle - piriformis
nerves - sacral plexus
vessels

34
Q

retropubic space

A

suprapubic catheter - into the bladder without piercing peritoneum
- just above pubic symphysis

its extraperitoneal

35
Q

perineum divided into

A

urogenital triangle

anal triangle

36
Q

innervation of perineum

A

pudendal nerve S2-S4

37
Q

superificial perineal pouch

A

external genitalia, vulva, vagina, etc etc

between inferior fascial layer of the urogenital diaphragm to the skin

38
Q

deep perineal pouch

A

inferior (perineal membrane) and superior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm

potential space - filled with muscle

39
Q

anal triangle holds

A

ischitana fossa - susceptible to cysts and abscesses - fat filled space

40
Q

nerves within ischianal fossa

A

inferior retal/anal nerves from pudendal nerve

41
Q

removal of cysts in ischioanal fossa complication

A

damage of nerves:

faecally incontinent

vestibule

A

cleft like space/ structure between the labia minora

the vaginal tubes + urethra opens into it

43
Q

tear of primal body

episiotomy
