rectovesical

These folds are known from their position as the rectovesical or sacrogenital folds.

XI. Splanchnology. 2e. The Abdomen 1918

This area is bounded below by the prostate, above by the rectovesical fold of peritoneum, and laterally by the ductus deferentes.

XI. Splanchnology. 3b. 3. The Urinary Bladder 1918

In front of the rectum the peritoneum forms the rectovesical excavation, which is limited laterally by peritoneal folds extending from the sides of the bladder to the rectum and sacrum.

XI. Splanchnology. 2e. The Abdomen 1918

The rectovesical excavation is, however, divided by the uterus and vagina into a small anterior vesicouterine and a large, deep, posterior rectouterine excavation.

XI. Splanchnology. 2e. The Abdomen 1918

It exhibits, however, a narrow triangular area, which is separated from the rectum merely by the rectovesical fascia.

XI. Splanchnology. 3b. 3. The Urinary Bladder 1918

Its middle part crosses the floor of the pelvis between the rectum and vesiculæ seminales as the rectovesical layer; in the female this is perforated by the vagina.

IV. Myology. 6e. The Muscles and Fasciæ of the Pelvis 1918

A small triangular area of the fundus of the bladder, between the ductus deferentes laterally and the bottom of the rectovesical excavation of peritoneum above, is in contact with the rectum.

XI. Splanchnology. 3c. 2. The Ductus Deferens 1918

The posterior surface rests upon the rectum, from which it is separated by the rectovesical fascia.

XI. Splanchnology. 3c. 3. The Vesiculæ Seminales 1918

Here it lies between the fundus of the bladder and the rectum, where it is enclosed, together with the seminal vesicle, in a sheath derived from the rectovesical portion of the fascia endopelvina.

XI. Splanchnology. 3c. 2. The Ductus Deferens 1918

The postero-superior surface is directed upward and backward, and is covered by peritoneum: behind, it is separated from the rectum by the rectovesical excavation, while its anterior part is in contact with the coils of the small intestine.
