Sulcus Nervi Dorsalis Penis / Clitoridis: an Anatomical Study
Öz
Objective: The
aim of this study was to investigate the rate of presence and the anatomical
features of Sulcus Nervi Dorsali Penis/Clitoris (SNDP/C) which is located on
pubis and which has clinical significance.
Methods: This
study was conducted on 90 dry hip bones (36 male, 23 female and 31 unsexed). We
investigated the presence of SNDP/C on the bones and the length and width of
symphisis pubis, the length of SNDP/C on the inferior pubic ramus, the width
and the length of SNDP/C on the anterior pubis were measured. SPSS 15.0 program
was performed for the analysis of the findings.
Results: The
rates of SNDP/C on the female and male pubic bones were 43.5% and 36.2%,
respectively. Developed SNDP/C (1.5 mm in depth and over) were found to be 8.7%
and 13.8% in the male and female pubic bones, respectively. The length of symphisis
pubis (SU) was 36.85 ± 4.06 mm and 41.68 ± 6.19 mm; The width symphisis pubis
(SG) was 13.98 ± 2.43 mm and 16.47 ± 2.50 mm; the length of SNDP/C on the
inferior pubic ramus was 11.40 ± 5.92 mm and 8.60 ± 3.09 mm; the width of
SNDP/C on the anterior pubic bone was found 5.22 ± 1.42 mm and 5.30 ± 1.12 mm;
the length of SNDP/C on the anterior pubic bone was found 11.94 ± 3.96 mm and
13.43± 4.02 mm in the female and male pubic bones, respectively. SU and SG
values were significantly higher in men than in women (p <0.05).
Discussion and Conclusion:
According to the results of this study, the ratio of SNDP/C in women is greater
than in men. The compression of the last branch of pudendal nerve passing over
SNDP/C causes Alcock Syndrome and that’s why the importance of SNDP/C in
urological surgery is increasing every day. In addition, it makes gender
discrimination on the intact pelvis possible in forensic medicine. For this
reason, good knowledge of the anatomy of SNDP/C will shed light on future
studies on this issue.
