The uterosacral ligaments are especially important in providing support to the uterus by attaching and holding the uterus, cervix, and upper vagina to the sacrum. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Schematic of the female reproductive system with a frontal view. 43 depicts the pelvic floor muscles that support the uterus in the pelvic cavity.
The cystocele in this region of the vagina is thought to be due to a cardinal ligament defect. [16] [25] Medial cystocele forms in the mid-vagina and is related to a defect in the suspension provided by to a sagittal suspension system defect in the uterosacral ligaments and pubocervical fascia. The pubocervical fascia may thin or tear and ...
The uterosacral ligaments (or rectouterine ligaments [1]) are major ligaments of uterus that extend posterior-ward from the cervix to attach onto the (anterior aspect of the [2]) sacrum. [ 3 ] Structure
This is accomplished by bringing the edges of the vagina together and suturing them together and to the uterosacral ligaments to prevent prolapse. The peritoneum is also sewn into the newly created vaginal cuff. [1] There may be an advantage to using one method of closure over another. [3]
The vaginal support structures are those muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, membranes and fascia, of the pelvic floor that maintain the position of the vagina within the pelvic cavity and allow the normal functioning of the vagina and other reproductive structures in the female.
The contents of the broad ligament include the following: [3] Reproductive uterine tubes (or fallopian tube) ovary (some sources consider the ovary to be on the broad ligament, but not in it.) [4] vessels ovarian artery (in the suspensory ligament) [5] uterine artery (in reality, travels in the cardinal ligament) ligaments ovarian ligament
The uterus contains three suspensory ligaments that help stabilize the position of the uterus and limits its range of movement. The uterosacral ligaments keep the body from moving inferiorly and anteriorly. The round ligaments restrict posterior movement of the uterus. The cardinal ligaments also prevent the inferior movement of the uterus.
