At the end of the lecture, students should be able to:

● 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 Perineum ● It is the region of the body below the pelvic diaphragm (The outlet of the pelvis) ● It is a diamond shaped area between the thighs

Urogenital Diaphragm

5 Perineal Pouches

Superficial perineal pouches

It is the space between the deep membranous layer of superficial fascia of perineum (Colle’s fascia) and the perineal membrane

Superior ➔ perineal membrane Inferior ➔ membranous layer of superficial fascia Lateral ➔ ischiopubic rami Boundaries

❖ Bulbs of vestibule: on each side of vaginal orifice ❖ Crura of clitoris ❖ Superficial perineal muscles:

I. Bulbospongiosus muscle, surrounds orifice of vagina and covers vestibular bulb II. , covers on each side Contents III. Superficial transverse perineal muscles ❖ Greater vestibular glands: on each side of vaginal orifice ❖ Perineal branch of pudendal nerve supplying muscles & skin

6 Perineal Pouches

Deep perineal pouches

It is a completely closed space deep to the perineal membrane

Superior ➔ superior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm

Inferior ➔ inferior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm (perineal membrane) Lateral ➔ inferior portion of obturator internus fascia Boundaries

❖ Part of urethra ❖ Part of vagina

❖ Sphincter urethrae and Sphincter vaginae muscles, which is pierced by urethra & vagina ❖ Deep transverse perineal muscles Contents ❖ Internal pudendal vessels ❖ Dorsal nerve of clitoris (branch of Pudendal nerve)

7 Vagina

● is a muscular canal that leads from the to the external orifice of the genital canal ● It measures about 3 in. (8 cm) long. ● It serves as the excretory duct for the menstrual flow & forms part of the birth canal. ● The vaginal orifice in a virgin possesses a thin mucosal fold, called the , which is perforated at its center. It lies posterior to the urethral orifice.

● Vaginal : a branch of the internal iliac artery Arterial Supply ● Vaginal branch of the uterine artery

Venous Drainage ● drain into the internal iliac veins.

8 Anal Triangle

A. Lower part of Anal canal B. Anococcygeal body C. Ischiorectal fossa on each side

Anal canal ● A fascial lined wedge-shaped space on each side ● It is about 1.5 in. long, descending from of the anal canal the rectal ampulla to the anus. Boundaries: Relations (In female): ● Base ➔ Skin of the perineum ● Anteriorly ➔ Perineal body, urogenital ● Medial wall ➔ Levator ani & anal canal diaphragm, and lower part of vagina ● Lateral wall ➔ Obturator internus, covered with ● Posteriorly ➔ Anococcygeal body. fascia ● Laterally ➔ Ischiorectal fossae. Contents: Ischiorectal fossa Divided into: (by the pectinate line) ● Dense fat ● Upper half: derived from hindgut ● Pudendal nerve & internal pudendal vessels (endoderm) within the pudendal canal (A fascial canal ● Lower half: derived from the Proctodeum formed by obturator fascia, located on the (ectoderm) lateral wall of the ischiorectal fossa) The two parts have different blood supply, nerve ● Inferior rectal nerve & vessels crossing the fossa supply and lymphatic drainage to reach anal canal

Arterial supply Venous drainage Lymphatic drainage Nerves

(sensitive to stretch) Para-rectal nodes Superior rectal vein Autonomic nerve Superior rectal a. drained into inferior drained into the inferior Visceral motor Upper half (continuation of the mesenteric lymph nodes mesenteric vein (portal (Inferior Hypogastric inferior mesenteric a.) and internal iliac lymph circulation) Plexus) (sympathetic & nodes parasympathetic)

(sensitive to pain) Somatic motor & sensory nerves - Inferior rectal vein Inferior rectal a. (Inferior rectal nerve drained into the internal Superficial inguinal Lower half (branch of internal branch of pudendal pudendal vein (Systemic lymph nodes pudendal a.) nerve) supplies external circulation) sphincter muscle of the anus and the skin of the anal region

10 Pudendal Nerve Block

● It is used in providing analgesia for the second stage of labour and to provide anesthesia of the perineum in order to create and repair an episiotomy. ● Can be done by transvaginally or through perineal approach.

it divided into

Perineal method: The ischial tuberosity is Transvaginal method: The needle is palpated subcutaneously through buttock . passed through the vaginal mucous The needle is inserted on the medial side of membrane toward the ischial spine. the ischial After the needle is passed through the tuberosity to a depth of about 1 in. (2.5 cm) sacrospinous ligament, the anesthetic from the free surface of the tuberosity. The solution is injected around the anesthetic is injected around the pudendal pudendal nerve nerve.

An episiotomy is a surgically planned incision on the perineum and the posterior vaginal wall during second stage of labor to prevent perineal tear.
