Perineum and Pelvis: Assigned Female

About the Book:

The structure of the female pelvis and the perineum along with their contents are taught in this enhanced video book of the Human Anatomy Video Project series.  An introduction to the bony pelvis is followed by a video of male and female pelvis to illustrate their similarities and differences.  The detailed anatomy of the bony pelvis follows.  The female pelvis and perineum are presented from external structures to pelvic contents.  Additionally, the female pelvis is shown from a midline sagittal perspective.  The course of retroperitoneal vessels and nerves are demonstrated. Pelvic dimensions are emphasized for their importance in childbirth.  A link is provided to the New England Journal of Medicine video on the clinical pelvic examination.  An intraoperative video of female cystoscopy is included and a video on bladder drainage devices.
