Abstract The autonomic nerves of the lesser pelvis are particularly prone to iatrogenic lesions due their exposed position during manifold surgical interventions. Nevertheless, cause rectal and urinary incontinence or sexual dysfunctions, for example after cancer resection hysterectomy, remains largely understudied, with regard female pelvic plexuses. This study focused on macroscopic description superior hypogastric plexus, nerves, inferior parasympathetic splanchnic sympathetic fibres....
In the last decades, contrast-enhanced micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging of a whole animal kidney became increasingly important. The visualization was mainly limited to middle-sized vessels. Since modern desktop micro-CT scanners provide necessary detail resolution, we developed an approach for rapid and consistent assessment vasculature glomeruli number. This method is based on μAngiofil, new polymerizing contrast agent with homogenous X-ray absorption, which provides continuous...
Abstract Objective To characterize structural integrity of the lumbosacral enlargement and conus medullaris within one month after spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods Lumbosacral MRI data were acquired in patients with sudden onset (<7 days) SCI at cervical or thoracic level approximately healthy controls. Tissue loss evaluated through diffusion tensor (DTI) T2*‐weighted imaging (cross‐sectional area [CSA] measurements). Associations degree neurological impairment assessed using linear...
Objectives To determine whether air‐filled systems (AFS) provide comparable urodynamic investigation (UDI) trace quality to water‐filled (WFS), the recommended standard by International Continence Society. Patients and Methods A total of 490 patients undergoing UDI from April 2021 January 2022 were included in this non‐inferiority randomised controlled trial. Eligible female male adults with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). allocated block randomisation a 1:1 ratio undergo...
The aim of this study was to investigate the nerve supply structures in male lesser pelvis and review its clinical relevance, especially during sparing surgery. Three formalin‐embalmed 16 Thiel‐embalmed hemipelves were used. They microdissected after repeated treatments with nitric acid diluted 1:10 milliQ‐water. inferior hypogastric plexus (IHP) is a fan‐like structure lateral from rectum on fascia levator ani. Nerves emerging proximal, solid part follow internal iliacal vessels reach...
