🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: During pectopexy surgery, the prolapsed uterus or the vaginal apex is fixed to the pectineal ligament.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The anatomic structures found in thelateral part of the prevesical and paravaginal space above the obturator fossa, raise the importance of the surgical steps required to prevent complications.This study was conducted to evaluate the proximity of vascular structures to the pectineal ligament.Materials and Methods: The distances between the surgical suturing area during pectopexy surgery and the external iliac vein, pubic anastomotic vessel(corona mortis) and obturator canal were measured bilaterally in seven fresh female cadavers.Results: The total length of the pectineal ligament was 5.9±0.76 cm on the left and 6.5±1.14 cm on the right side; the midpoint of the pectineal ligamentwas 2.8±0.52 cm on the left and 3.6±0.47 cm on the right side.

Abstract

Objective: During pectopexy surgery, the prolapsed uterus or the vaginal apex is fixed to the pectineal ligament. The anatomic structures found in thelateral part of the prevesical and paravaginal space above the obturator fossa, raise the importance of the surgical steps required to prevent complications.This study was conducted to evaluate the proximity of vascular structures to the pectineal ligament.Materials and Methods: The distances between the surgical suturing area during pectopexy surgery and the external iliac vein, pubic anastomotic vessel(corona mortis) and obturator canal were measured bilaterally in seven fresh female cadavers.Results: The total length of the pectineal ligament was 5.9±0.76 cm on the left and 6.5±1.14 cm on the right side; the midpoint of the pectineal ligamentwas 2.8±0.52 cm on the left and 3.6±0.47 cm on the right side. From the midpoint of the left pectineal ligament, the mean distance to the left externaliliac vein was 1.04±0.23 cm, to the left corona mortis it was 2.15±0.48 cm, and to the left obturator canal it was 3.12±0.95 cm. From the midpoint of theright pectineal ligament, the mean distance to the right external iliac vein was 1.25±0.43 cm, to the right corona mortis it was 2.37±0.63 cm, and to theright obturator canal it was 3.57±0.93 cm.Conclusion: The anatomic findings of the study confirmed that the pectineal ligament was in close association with main vessels. The external iliac veinwas measured as the closest anatomic structure to the pectineal ligament. Surgeons must be careful to minimize life-threatening complications because of the proximity of the pectineal ligament to main vessels.

Özet

Amaç: Pektopeksi cerrahisi sırasında, prolapse olan uterus veya vajinal apeks pektineal ligamana sabitlenir. Obturator fossa üzerinde prevesikal ve paravajinal boşluğun lateral kısmında bulunan anatomik yapılar, komplikasyonları önlemek için yapılacak cerrahi adımların önemini arttırmaktadır. Bu çalışma, vasküler yapıların pektineal ligamana yakınlığını değerlendirmek için yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Pektopeksi cerrahisi sırasında cerrahi sütür alanı ile eksternal iliak ven, pubik anastomotik damarlar (korona mortis) ve obturator kanal arasındaki mesafeler 7 taze kadın kadavrada iki taraflı olarak ölçülmüştür. Bulgular: Pektineal ligamanın toplam uzunluğu solda 5,9±0,76 cm ve sağ tarafta 6,5±1,14 cm idi. Pektineal ligamanın orta noktası solda 2,8±0,52 cm ve sağ tarafta 3,6±0,47 cm idi. Sol pektineal ligamanın orta noktasından, sol eksternal iliak vene ortalama mesafe 1,04±0,23 cm, sol korona mortise 2,15±0,48 cm ve sol obturator kanala ortalama mesafe 3,12±0,95cm idi. Sağ pektineal ligamanın orta noktasından sağ eksternal iliak vene ortalama mesafe 1,25±0,43 cm, sağ korona mortise 2,37±0,63 cm ve sağ obturator kanala ortalama 3,57±0,93 cm idi. Sonuç: Çalışmanın anatomik bulguları pektineal ligamanın ana damarlarla yakın ilişki içinde olduğunu doğrulamıştır. Eksternal iliak ven, pektineal ligamana en yakın anatomik yapı olarak ölçülmüştür. Cerrahlar, pektineal ligamanın ana damarlara yakınlığı nedeniyle hayatı tehdit eden komplikasyonları en aza indirmeye dikkat etmelidir.
