The perineal membrane (PM) is a thick, elastic fiber-rich, smooth muscle-poor membrane extending along the vestibule and lower vaginal wall and embedding the urethrovaginal sphincter and compressor urethrae muscles. To provide a better understanding of the topographical relationship between the PM and the levator ani muscle, we examined histological sections from 15 female cadavers. The composite fibers of the PM were usually continuous with that of a fascia covering the inferior or lateral surface of the levator ani (fascia diaphragmatis pelvis inferior) rather than the endopelvic fascia covering the superior or medial surface of the latter muscle. However, this fascial connection was sometimes interrupted by a venous plexus. The deep transverse perineal muscle was consistently adjacent to the posterolateral aspect of the PM, but whether it extended superficially or deeply to the PM depended on size of the muscle. In contrast to the endopelvic fascia embedding abundant middle-sized nerves (cavernous and sphincter nerves;0.05 - 0.1 mm in thickness), the PM contained very thin nerves: many in 10 cadavers but few in 5 cadavers. Most of the nerves seemed to be sensory on the basis of immunohistochemistry. The levator ani muscle was considered likely to provide traction force to the PM, but active elevation appeared to be difficult because of the highly elastic nature of the PM and the interrupting venous plexus. Loss of nerves in the PM might be one of a number of factors that can accelerate pelvic organ prolapse.

Introduction: The ptosis is a fall of the upper eyelid in relation to a deficit of the levator device of this one. In practice, it poses two major problems, the first one is the eminent risk of amblyopia during severe congenital ptosis, and the second is of an aesthetic nature, representing the main reason for consultation. The aim of this work is to evaluate the interest of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle plication in the ptosis surgery. Materials and Methods: We collected 12 patients who received a correction of their ptosis by plication of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle over a period of 3 years from January 2012 to December 2014. Result: The mean age at treatment was 22 years;the ptosis was congenital in 8 cases, and acquired in 4. The ptosis was major in 67% and moderate in 33% of the cases. Muscle plication was the basic surgical technique in all patients in our series. The function and aesthetic results were satisfying in 6 cases (50%), good in 4 cases (34%), acceptable in 1 case and bad in 1 case (8%). Discussion: The comparative study has shown that the plication of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle is a possible alternative for the correction of ptosis whatever the type of ptosis with results comparable to the reference technique compared to the degree of correction, whereas the operative follow-up is simpler and more minor complications. Conclusion: The surgical treatment of ptosis should be done after a systematic clinical examination and after very precise indications. However, the plication of the levator muscle of the upper eyelid has shown its functional and aesthetic efficiency in congenital ptosis and in the ptosis of the adult.

With the aid of immunohistochemistry, the present review attempts to demonstrate the composite fibers and nerve topographical anatomy in the vaginal supportive tissues. Along the tendinous arch of the pelvic fasciae, distal parts of the pelvic plexus extend antero-inferiorly and issue nerves to the internal anal sphincter as well as the cavernous tissues. At the attachment of the levator ani muscle to the rectum, smooth muscles in the endopelvic fascia lining the levator ani merge with the longitudinal smooth muscle layer of the rectum to provide the conjoint longitudinal muscle coat or the longitudinal anal muscle (LAM: smooth muscle). However, at the rectovaginal interface, the longitudinal smooth muscle layer of the rectum continues to the LAM without any contribution of the endopelvic fascia. The bilateral masses of the perineal smooth muscles (PSMs) are connected by the perineal body, and the PSMs receive 1) the longitudinal anal muscle, 2) the internal and external anal sphincters and, 3) the perineal membrane lining the vestibular wall. Tensile stress from the levator ani seems to be transferred to the PSMs via the LAM. Because of their irregularly arrayed muscle fibers, instead of a synchronized contraction in response to nerve impulses, the PSMs are likely to act as a barrier, septum or protector against mechanical stress because, even without innervation, such smooth muscle fibers resist (not absorb) pressure, in accordance with Bayliss’ rule. The external anal sphincter, a strong striated muscle, inserts into the PSMs and seems to play a dynamic role in supporting the rectovaginal interface to maintain the antero-posterior length of the urogenital hiatus. However, we do not think that smooth muscles play an active traction role without cooperation from striated muscle. The fibrous skeleton composed of smooth muscle in the female perineum is explained in terms of a “catamaran” model.
