Reinnervation 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...

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 کاملLevator ani avulsion and risk of recurrence after surgery for anterior compartment prolapse: Current status
Objective Avulsion seems to be associated with recurrence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) following surgery. The overall prevalence of levator ani avulsion in female gender after vaginal delivery is 13-36% at the ultrasound examination (US) and 20% at MRI. Relationship between avulsion of levator ani muscle (LAM) and prolapse of pelvic floor organs is well established in literature, even if ther...
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...
