摘要:
Conflicting opinions in the recent literature indicate that the morphological organization and function of the anorectal continence organ has, up to now, not been clearly understood. But a clear imagination of the spatial arrangements of this compound muscle system is of clinical relevance for the pediatric surgeon performing reconstructive surgery. We analyzed 18-mum sections of the pelvic region of 4 human fetuses in order to describe the individual components of this muscle complex. A series of 630 Azan-stained sections was the base for the computer-assisted 3D reconstruction of the levator ani and the external sphincter complex in a male human fetus (14th week p.c.). In this context, special attention was paid to the intermediate muscle layer of the puborectalis which develops ventrally from the funnel-shaped levator ani and joins the tripartite ring system of the sphincter muscle dorsally. Our findings lead to a clear imagination of the spatial arrangement of this intermediate layer and characterize the anorectal muscle complex as an integrated ensemble in which the puborectalis holds a key position.
