PFD Week 2016-Anatomy of Transobturator Sling Surgery

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video summary, an assistant is reviewing the importance of pelvic anatomy in the placement and removal of trans-obturator slings (TOT). The video explores the bony structures, ligaments, and muscles of the pelvis. For TOT removal, an incision is made lateral to the labia and the adductor muscles are retracted to access the obturator foramen. The video shows the dissection of the groin musculature and the removal of the external obturator, obturator membrane, and obturator internus. It also discusses the nerves involved in TOT surgery, including the ilial inguinal, genitofemoral, pudendal, and obturator nerves. Understanding the anatomy of the obturator fossa is crucial for the surgical removal of mesh. Video credits are not provided.
