Extrinsic innervation of the pelvic organs in the lesser pelvis of human embryos [PDF]
Realistic models to understand the developmental appearance of the pelvic nervous system in mammals are scarce. We visualized the development of the inferior hypogastric plexus and its preganglionic connections in human embryos at 4–8 weeks post ...

Inferior Hypogastric Plexus Blockade: A Transsacral Approach
Background: Despite recent refinements in the technique of hypogastric plexus blockade, the lower pelvic organs and genitalia are innervated by fibers from the pre-sacral inferior hypogastric plexus and these fibers are not readily blocked using paravertebral or transdiscal approaches.

Level of Vascular Ligation for Sigmoid Colon Cancer: Does It Matter? The Pina Low‐T Study
ABSTRACT Background and Methods In sigmoid colon cancer surgery, the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) can be ligated at its origin (high ligation, HLG) or distal to the left colic artery bifurcation (low ligation, LLG). While high ligation facilitates lymph node harvest and mobilization, it may compromise colonic perfusion and increase nerve injury ...

Abdominoperineal resection (APR) after minimally invasive rectal cancer surgery was associated with significantly higher rates of erectile and early ejaculatory dysfunction compared with anal‐sparing surgery. Although ejaculatory function showed partial recovery over time, erectile dysfunction persisted up to 12 months postoperatively.

Anatomy of the pelvic plexus and innervation of the prostate gland [PDF]
We have examined the anatomy of the pelvic (inferior hypogastric) plexus in six male cadavers, paying particular attention to gross anatomical landmarks that might aid in locating it and have used immunohistochemistry to study the small branches of the ...

Careful Dissection of the Distal Ureter Is Highly Important in Nerve-sparing Radical Pelvic Surgery: A 3D Reconstruction and Immunohistochemical Characterization of the Vesical Plexus [PDF]
Radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy (RHL) is the preferred treatment for early-stage cervical cancer. Although oncological outcome is good with regard to recurrence and survival rates, it is well known that RHL might result in postoperative ...
