2025年1月21日 · The retropubic space (also known as the prevesical space, cave of Retzius or cavum Retzii) is an extraperitoneal space located posterior to the pubic symphysis and anterior to the urinary bladder. It is separated from the anterior abdominal wall by the transversalis fascia and extends to the level of the umbilicus .

2016年6月4日 · The boundaries of the retropubic space (space of Retzius) are the symphysis pubis anteriorly, the pubic rami laterally, and the sidewalls composed of pubic bone and obturator internus muscle. The anterior aspects of the proximal urethra and extraperitoneal portions of the bladder are seen upon exposure of the retropubic space.

The retropubic space is a surgical landmark that has surgical significance in several gynecological and urological procedures. Access to the space is achieved by separating the rectus abdominis muscle at the mid line, and bluntly dissecting the tissue in the direction of the symphysis pubis, until reaching the peritoneum .

When the bladder is distended, the peritoneum is carried up with the expanded viscus so that a considerable part of the anterior surface of the latter lies directly against the abdominal wall without the intervention of peritoneal membrane, forming the retropubic space (prevesical space of Retzius).The retropubic space is described to be placed ...

2024年6月1日 · The space of Retzius, also known as the retropubic space, is an important anatomic location for pathology. 2 The space is defined anteriorly by the pubic symphysis and posteriorly by the urinary bladder. It is separated anteriorly from the anterior abdominal wall by the transversalis fascia, which extends superiorly to the level of the umbilicus.
