Abstract

Objectives – the terminological analysis of the identification of perineal body and associated muscles according to native and foreign literature.

Material and methods. The literature on human anatomy, topographical anatomy, operative surgery, obstetrics, gynecology, proctology as well as urology was reviewed. We analyzed articles from several peer-reviewed scientific medical journals on the topic of the perineum and pelvic organs diseases.

Results. The review of the literature indicates that most of native authors use the term "centrum tendineum perinei" despite last two international anatomical terminology revisions in 2003 and 2019. At the same time, the foreign authors use the term "perineal body" which is in line with contemporary anatomical terminology.

It was also found that the authors disagree on the terminology and morphology not only of the "centrum tendineum perinei" but also of the muscles that form it.

Keywords

perineal body, centrum tendineum perinei, m. bulbocavernosus, m. transversus perinei superficialis, m. transversus perinei profundus, m. sphincter ani externus
