Levator ani muscle stretch induced by simulated vaginal birth.
OBJECTIVE To develop a three-dimensional computer model to predict levator ani muscle stretch during vaginal birth. METHODS Serial magnetic resonance images from a healthy nulliparous 34-year-old woman, published anatomic data, and engineering graphics software were used to construct a structural model of the levator ani muscles along with related passive tissues. The model was used to quanti...
متن کاملIs the Puborectalis Muscle Part of the Levator Ani Muscle?
1 on the anatomy of the levator ani, and especially the puborectalis muscle by use of MRI and CT. The authors state that the levator ani has a transverse portion and a vertical portion and that the puborectalis muscle is a u-shaped muscle outside the vertical portion. Based on those findings, the authors conclude that the puborectalis is not a part of the levator ani muscle. The concept that th...
متن کاملSurgical anatomy of the levator palpebrae insertion.
THE text-book description of the anatomy of the upper eyelid with particular reference to the septum orbitale (palpebral fascia) and especially the insertion of the levator muscle is unnecessarily vague or complicated from the surgical point of view. Thus the septum orbitale is described by some authors as arising from the orbital margin and ending where it blends with the aponeurosis of the le...
متن کاملLevator ani subtended volume: a novel parameter to evaluate levator ani muscle laxity in pelvic organ prolapse.
OBJECTIVE We describe a new parameter based on magnetic resonance 3-dimensional (3D) reconstructions proposed to evaluate levator ani muscle (LAM) laxity in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). STUDY DESIGN This is an institutional review board-approved, retrospective chart review of 35 women with POP, stages I-IV. The 3D Slicer software package was used to perform 2-dimensional and 3D mea...
متن کاملReinnervation of the rat levator ani muscle after neonatal denervation.
After axonal injury on postnatal day 14 (P14), but not P21, motoneurons in the spinal nucleus of the bulbocavernosus (SNB) do not display their normal response to circulating testosterone levels. This could result from a permanent disruption of communication between motoneurons and their testosterone-sensitive target muscles. We assessed the extent of reinnervation of one of these target muscle...
