Histologic analysis of needle biopsy of urethral sphincter from women with normal and stress incontinence with comparison of electromyographic findings

Article Abstract:

Women with urinary stress incontinence may actually have nerve damage in their urethral sphincter. The urethral sphincter at the opening of the urethra keeps urine from leaking out. Researchers analyzed biopsy samples from the urethral sphincter in 17 healthy women and 10 women with urinary stress incontinence. The healthy women had more skeletal muscle whereas the incontinent women had more connective tissue in their sphincter. Nerve studies revealed that the incontinent women had abnormal nerve conduction in their spincter but the healthy women did not.

Discrepancies between classic anatomy and modern gynecologic surgery on pelvic connective tissue structure: Harmonization of those concepts by collaborative cadaver dissection

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to solve a disagreement regarding the anatomy of the pelvic connective tissue in 19th and 20th century, and to establish new surgical anatomy. The discrepancies in the 19th century anatomy for the pelvic connective tissue are examined and a new surgical anatomy for this structure is proposed.
