    Color Code Important Female Perineum Doctors Notes Notes/Extra explanation Please view our Editing File before studying this lecture to check for any changes. Objectives At the end of the lecture, the student should be able to describe the: ✓ Boundaries of the perineum. ✓ Division of perineum into two triangles. ✓ Boundaries & Contents of anal & urogenital triangles. ✓ Lower part of Anal canal. ✓ Boundaries & contents of Ischiorectal fossa. ✓ Innervation, Blood supply and lymphatic drainage of perineum. Lecture Outline ‰ Introduction: • The trunk is divided into 4 main cavities: thoracic, abdominal, pelvic, and perineal. (see image 1) • The pelvis has an inlet and an outlet. (see image 2) The lowest part of the pelvic outlet is the perineum. • The perineum is separated from the pelvic cavity superiorly by the pelvic floor. • The pelvic floor or pelvic diaphragm is composed of muscle fibers of the levator ani, the coccygeus muscle, and associated connective tissue. (see image 3) We will talk about them more in the next lecture. Image (1) Image (2) Image (3) Note: this image is seen from ABOVE Perineum (In this lecture the boundaries and relations are important) o Perineum is the region of the body below the pelvic diaphragm (The outlet of the pelvis) o It is a diamond shaped area between the thighs.

  • Vulvar Cancer Early Detection, Diagnosis, and Staging Detection and Diagnosis
    cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 Vulvar Cancer Early Detection, Diagnosis, and Staging Detection and Diagnosis Finding cancer early -- when it's small and before it has spread -- often allows for more treatment options. Some early cancers may have signs and symptoms that can be noticed, but that's not always the case. ● Can Vulvar Cancer Be Found Early? ● Signs and Symptoms of Vulvar Cancers and Pre-Cancers ● Tests for Vulvar Cancer Stages and Outlook (Prognosis) After a cancer diagnosis, staging provides important information about the extent of cancer in the body and anticipated response to treatment. ● Vulvar Cancer Stages ● Survival Rates for Vulvar Cancer Questions to Ask About Vulvar Cancer Here are some questions you can ask your cancer care team to help you better understand your cancer diagnosis and treatment options. ● Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Vulvar Cancer 1 ____________________________________________________________________________________American Cancer Society cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 Can Vulvar Cancer Be Found Early? Having pelvic exams and knowing any signs and symptoms of vulvar cancer greatly improve the chances of early detection and successful treatment. If you have any of the problems discussed in Signs and Symptoms of Vulvar Cancers and Pre-Cancers, you should see a doctor. If the doctor finds anything abnormal during a pelvic examination, you may need more tests to figure out what is wrong. This may mean referral to a gynecologist (specialist in problems of the female genital system). Knowing what to look for can sometimes help with early detection, but it is even better not to wait until you notice symptoms.

  • Transperineal Biopsy of the Prostate
    Transperineal Biopsy of the Prostate Department of Urology Patient Information WhatWhat is ais Prostate? a Prostate? The Prostate is an organ forming part of the male reproductive system. It is located immediately below the bladder and just in front of the bowel. The back of your prostate presses against your rectum (back passage) and the front of your prostate surrounds your urethra (the tube that carries urine from your bladder and out through your penis). Its main function is to produce fluid which protects and enriches sperm. In younger men the prostate is about the size of a walnut. It is doughnut shaped as it surrounds the beginning of the urethra, the tube that conveys urine from the bladder through the penis. The nerves that control erections surround the prostate. WhatWhat does does the theprocedure procedure involve? involve? This procedure involves using an ultrasound probe, inserted via the back passage, to scan the prostate. Biopsies are taken through the skin behind the testicles (the perineum) using a special grid. The sampling is targeted and the number of samples taken depends on the size of the prostate, usually ranging from 30 to 50 samples. The reason this is done is because you have already undergone a number of biopsies (via the rectum) which have not identified the cause of your elevated PSA; further transrectal biopsies would carry a significant risk if performed in this number. WhatWhat are are the the alternatives alternatives to this to procedure? this procedure? The only viable alternative to this procedure is observation with repeat blood tests but without biopsies.
