  • anatomical risks of transObturator suburethral tape in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence
    European Urology, 2005
    Co-Authors: Vincent Delmas
    Abstract:

    Abstract Introduction: The objective of this study was to define the anatomical structures crossed by transObturator tape. Materials: Ten fresh, female anatomical subjects aged 74 to 89 years. Methods: TransObturator tape was inserted by outside-in way. The position of the tape was verified by perineal and abdominal dissection. Results: TransObturator tape has a transverse course. It crosses the adductor muscles close to their pubic insertion and passes over the inferior border of the Obturator Foramen by crossing the Obturator membrane, before reaching the middle plane of the perineum after having crossed the Obturator internus muscle. The tape passes above the internal pudendal pedicle and then under the levator ani muscle, under the tendinous arch of the pelvic fascia and continues in the middle third of the urethrovaginal septum. It avoids femoral and Obturator vessels in the thigh and pudendal vessels in the perineum. Conclusion: The anatomical course of transObturator tape shows that the anatomical structures crossed by the tape are muscle and fascia and, when the technique is performed correctly, no major neurovascular structures are in contact with the tape.

  • variation of the Obturator Foramen and pubic arch of the female bony pelvis
    American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Beri Ridgeway, Beatriz E Arias, Matthew D Barber
    Abstract:

    Objective The purpose of this study was to determine dimensions of the Obturator Foramen and pubic arch of the female pelvis and to assess for variability. Study Design Ninety-six female pelvises were selected from the Cleveland Natural History Museum. The Obturator Foramen area, pubic arch angle, pubic ramus, pubic symphysis, and anterior urogenital triangle area were measured. Linear regression was used to evaluate independent associations. Results There was considerable variability of the bony architecture. The mean Obturator Foramen area was 12.2 ± 2.1 cm 2 (range, 7.38-18.22 cm 2 ). After controlling for height, the pubic ramus width, pubic symphysis length, and interObturator foramina distance were significantly greater in European American women compared with African American women. Obturator Foramen area increased with increasing height ( P = .0008) but was not associated with race. Conclusion There is considerable variability in the bony architecture of the Obturator Foramen and pubic arch of the female pelvis. Race and height may account for some of these variabilities.
