This book offers a critical review of the pelvic sciences-past,
present and future-from an anatomical and physiological perspective
and is intended for researchers, medical practitioners and
paramedical therapists in the fields of urology, gynecology and
obstetrics, proctology, physiotherapy, as well as for patients. The
book starts with a "construction plan" of the pelvis and shows its
structural consequences. The historical background of pelvic
studies proceeds from medieval and early Italian models to the
definitive understanding of the pelvic anatomy in the Seventeenth
century. During these eras of pelvic research, concepts and
approaches developed that are illustrated with examples from
comparative anatomy and from mutations, also with regard to the
biomechanics of pelvic structures. Perceptions of the pelvis as an
important element in sexual arousal and mating conduct are
discussed, as well as attitudes to circumcision, castration and
other mutilations, in its anthropological, social context. The
anatomy and physiology of the pelvic wall and its organs as well as
the development of these pelvic organs are covered as a
prerequisite to understanding, for example, the spread of pelvic
carcinoma and male and female bladder muscle function. Connective
pelvic tissue is examined in its reinforcing capacity for pelvic
structures, but also as a "hiding place" for infections.
Innervations and reflexes relayed through the pelvic nerves are
discussed in order to explain incontinence, sphincter function and
the control of smooth and striated muscles in the pelvis. Catheters
and drugs acting on pelvic function are described, and a critical
review of alternative clinical methods for treating pelvic
dysfunctions is provided.
