Q

How can you tell a female from a male pelvis

A
  • Females have a wider pelvic inlet than males (wider ischial tuberosities and ischial spines) (round in women, heart shaped in men)
  • Females have a wider subpubic angle (>80 degrees) than men (<70 degrees)
  • Sacral promontory protrudes less in females than in men

Q

What is the purpose of ligaments

A

To help resist rotation

17
Q

What are the muscles of the pelvic floor

A 
Levator ani (pubococcygeus + iliococcygeus)
Coccygeus (internal surface of sacrospinous
18
Q

What does the pelvic diaphragm separate

A

Superior: pelvic viscera
Inferior: perineum

19
Q

What are the regions of Pubococcygeus

A

Pubovaginalis
Puboprostaticus
Puborectalis

20
Q

What provides major innervation of the pelvic muscles

A

Piriformis: sacral plexus
Obturator interns: sacral plexus
Pelvic diaphragm: sacral and lumbar plexus

21
Q

What can weakness in the pelvic diaphragm lead to

A

urinary incontinence, bowel incontinence, prolapse of the pelvic viscera

22
Q

What provides venous drainage to the pelvis

A

veins named similarly to the arteries. As well as multiple venous plexuses

23
Q

What are the venous plexuses

A 
Prostatic plexus
Uterine plexus
Vaginal plexus
Rectal plexus
Vesical plexus
24
Q

What is the flow of lymph drainage in the pelvis

A

internal iliac nodes–> common iliac nodes–> lumbar lymph–>chyle cistern–> thoracic duct

25
Q

What is the only exception to pelvic lymph drainage, and what is the flow

A

ovaries and testis drain directly to the lumbar lymph nodes–>chyle cistern–> thoracic duct

26
Q

What is the primary blood supply to the pelvis, perineum, and gluteal region

A

internal iliac arteries

27
Q

What are the major branches off the internal iliac artery

A 
Superior gluteal
Inferior gluteal
Internal Pudendal (inferior rectal)
Umbilical (superior vesical)
Obturator
Inferior vesical
Middle Rectal
Uterine
Vaginal
28
Q

Which artery has potential for injury during inguinal hernia repairs

A

Aberrant obturator artery (20% of people have it) that arises from inferior epigastric artery

29
Q

Where does the aberrant obturator artery run

A

over the superior pubic ramus

30

A

55 degrees

31
Q
