Fascia Urogenital Diaphragm Inferior

The fascia of the genitourinary diaphragm is a dense connective tissue septum that separates the intra-abdominal and retroperitoneal spaces and surrounds the pelvic organs. It consists of two layers: superficial and deep. The superficial layer is represented by fascia, and the deep layer is represented by muscle tendons and ligaments.

The lower fascia of the urogenital diaphragm (f. diaphragmatis urogenitalis inferior) is one of the layers of this septum. It is located between the bladder, rectum and pubic symphysis. The inferior fascia of the genitourinary diaphragm is important for supporting the pelvic organs and protecting them from injury and damage.

This fascia is also involved in the formation of the internal fascial spaces that surround the pelvic organs, which allows them to move freely and perform their functions. The inferior fascia of the genitourinary diaphragm also serves as an attachment site for muscles and ligaments that support the pelvic organs in the correct position.

Violation of the integrity of the fascia of the genitourinary diaphragm can lead to various diseases and pathological conditions, such as urinary incontinence, rectal prolapse and other problems in the pelvic area. Therefore, it is important to maintain the health of this fascia and its function, as well as ensure the correct position of the pelvic organs.

Fascia Urogenital Diaphragm Inferior (synonym: fascia Hepatic Catchment, Fascia Hepatorenalis, Latin: Fasciae Urogenitales Inferior) is a peculiar fold of the peritoneum that covers the lower border of the liver and forms the scrotum and small pelvis around it, connecting the superficial parietal layer of the peritoneal preperitoneal tissue of the parietal peritoneum with the inner lining of the bladder and the prostate capsule in the lower part. It is a protective fold of the abdominal cavity that protects internal organs from external damage.
