| Popis: | Objectives Testing whether the site-specific anatomical defect(s) can occur within the urethral stabilizing mechanism; determining the anatomical structure compositions of the urethral stabilizing mechanism. Study design In an international setting, fifteen human fresh female cadavers subjected to urogenital tract stratum-by-stratum macro- and micro-dissection and a case series study type utilized in this scientific research. The primary outcome measured occurrences of anatomical site-specific defects within the urethral stabilizing mechanism and the secondary outcome measured the anatomical structures of the urethral stabilizing mechanism. Results Site-specific defects occurred within the urethral stabilizing mechanism in four out of fifteen subjects (26.6%); defects most commonly identified within suburethral-paraurethral-periurethral areas. The ventral perineal membrane and distal condensations of the arcus tendineus levatoris ani defects were also present. The urethral stabilizing mechanism consists of multiple anatomical structures located in different anatomical regions. Conclusions Site-specific defects occur within the urethral stabilizing mechanism in women. The urethral stabilizing mechanism consists of multiple anatomical structures located in different anatomical regions, and they fuse with the urethral wall. |
