We believe that the damage to the
perineal body, superficial transverse perineal muscles, and bulbosupongiosus muscles, which provide contribution to anal continence, is ignored, especially in direct surgical repair.
The
perineal body, which lies anterior to the SMC, is not divided.
In this study,
perineal body thickness, anal sphincter maximum squeezing pressure, mean resting pressure (MRP), external anal sphincter defect (EASD) and sphincter angle were evaluated.
To prevent both pneumovagina and urine pooling caused by this extreme conformational abnormality, the
perineal body must be reconstructed (i.e., perineoplasty or vestibuloplasty).
Three other parameters (total vaginal length, genital hiatus, and
perineal body) are also measured with the patient relaxed.
Mariana's clinical pearl is that the delivering clinician should be seated, carefully observe the delivery of the shoulders, and facilitate fetal shrugging by gently reducing the bisacromial diameter as the posterior shoulder transitions over the
perineal body.
The goat model has many similarities with human anatomy, but the major difference is the lack of distinct perineal muscles .The
perineal body in goat is very thin, but it does demarcate the vagina and anal sphincter.
Not all
perineal body or anal sphincter defects are associated with anal incontinence.
Maternal causes are: Nulliparity, short mother, small genital hiatus and short
perineal body.4 In ad-dition to these, larger infants an infant in occipito-posterior position, or having had an episiotomy or operative delivery may be the cause.5
A midline incision is made from the
perineal body to the vaginal apex.
Despite commonly expressed concerns, at twelve weeks they found no difference in pelvic floor function, incontinence or
perineal body measurements between the sutured and unsutured group.
Here, the
perineal body prevents communication between the right and left fossae.
