The suspensory ligament of the penis is a triangular midline structure anchoring the penis to the pubic symphysis, [1] holding the penis close to the pubic bone and supporting it during erection. [2] The ligament does not directly connect to the corpus cavernosum penis, but may still play a role in erectile dysfunction. [2]
The ventral surface is marked by the penile raphe. The base of the shaft is supported by the suspensory ligament, which is attached to the pubic symphysis. [5] Epithelium of the penis consists of the shaft skin, the foreskin (prepuce), and the preputial mucosa on the inside of it. The foreskin covers and protects the glans and shaft. The ...
The fundiform ligament springs from the front of the sheath of the rectus abdominis and the linea alba; it splits into two fasciculi which encircle the root of the penis. The upper fibers of the suspensory ligament pass downward from the lower end of the linea alba, and the lower fibers from the pubic symphysis; together they form a strong ...
Buck's fascia is continuous with the external spermatic fascia in the scrotum and the suspensory ligament of the penis. On its ventral aspect, it splits to envelop corpus spongiosum in a separate compartment from the tunica albuginea and corporal bodies. [5]
The fundiform ligament of the penis is a structure of the external genitalia whose descriptions differ according to the source consulted. [1] The 41st Edition of Gray's Anatomy (2015) and Traité d'Anatomie humaine do not acknowledge this structure. Some sources equate the fundiform ligament with the Scarpa fascia. [1]
Other symptoms include severe pain, loss of erection, and swelling. [5] Symptoms of urethral injury include hematuria, blood at the meatus, and dysuria. [1] If left untreated, complications result in 28–53% of cases; these include permanent curvature of the penis, fistula, urethral diverticulum, priapism, and erectile dysfunction. [5]
Al Pacino detailed an “embarrassing” moment from his childhood that resulted in “trauma” to his penis. "I was walking on a thin, iron fence, doing my tightrope dance,” Pacino, 84, wrote ...
The body of the penis is suspended from the pubic symphysis. [7] It has two surfaces; the dorsal and the ventral or urethral.The penile raphe runs on its ventral surface.. The body is surrounded by a bi-layered model of tunica albuginea in which a distal ligament buttresses the glans penis and plays an integral role to the penile fibroskeleton, and the structure is called "os analog", a term ...
