In the male the pubovesical ligament is parallel and medial to the puboprostatic ligament. The puboprostatic ligament is a thickening of the superior fascia of the pelvic diaphragm, that extends laterally from the prostate to the tendinous arch of the pelvic fascia and continues forward and medially from the tendinous arch to the pubis.
The front is known as the "vesical layer". It forms the anterior and lateral ligaments of the bladder. In males, its middle lamina crosses the floor of the pelvis between the rectum and vesiculæ seminales as the rectovesical septum; in the female this is perforated by the cervix and is named the transverse cervical ligament.
The pubofemoral ligament (or pubocapsular ligament [citation needed]) is a ligament which reinforces the inferior and anterior portions of the joint capsule of the hip joint. The ligament attaches superiorly at the superior ramus of pubis, and the iliopubic eminence ; it attaches inferiorly at the inferior portion of the intertrochanteric line ...
The obturator fascia, or fascia of the internal obturator muscle, covers the pelvic surface of that muscle and is attached around the margin of its origin.. Above, it is loosely connected to the back part of the arcuate line, and here it is continuous with the iliac fascia.
The pubovaginal muscle is a pelvic floor muscle that attaches to the muscles of lateral walls of the midsection of the vagina and the pubis. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6 ...
The pubocervical ligament is a ligament connecting the side of the cervix to the pubic symphysis. The collagen in the pubocervical ligament may be reduced in women with vaginal prolapse . [ 1 ]
The vesicouterine pouch is a fold of peritoneum over the uterus and the bladder, forming a pelvic recess. [1] It is continued over the intestinal surface and body of the uterus onto its vesical surface, which it covers as far as the junction of the body and cervix uteri, and then to the bladder.
The suspensory ligament of the ovary, also infundibulopelvic ligament (commonly abbreviated IP ligament or simply IP), is a fold of peritoneum [1] that extends out from the ovary to the wall of the pelvis. Some sources consider it a part of the broad ligament of uterus [2] while other sources just consider it a "termination" of the ligament. [3]
