pelvic

pertaining to the pelvis.

pelvic abscess

commonest in horses as a result of a rectal tear during a manual examination. The tear is only mucosa deep and the infection is deposited in the pelvic fascia where an abscess develops. This has the potential to erode into the peritoneal cavity. The syndrome begins as a toxemia and fever caused by the local abscess but a common sequel is the abrupt appearance of severe abdominal pain and toxemic shock.

pelvic bone

os coxae, comprising the ilium, ischium and pubis. See also Table 10.

pelvic canal

the canal from the pelvic inlet to the pelvic outlet.

pelvic cavity

the space bounded by the bones of the pelvis.

pelvic girdle

the bony ring formed by the pair of hip bones fused at the symphysis and their firm articulation with the sacrum, and in some species one or two coccygeal vertebrae.

pelvic inlet

the cranial opening of the pelvis.

pelvic intestinal hernia

see pelvic hernia.

pelvic ligaments

include the dorsal sacroiliac, the sacrotuberal and the iliolumbar ligaments.

pelvic limb

the hindlimb.

pelvic nerve

see Table 14.

pelvic organs

includes reproductive organs, urinary bladder, ureter, rectum.

pelvic outlet

the caudal opening of the pelvis, guarded by the pelvic diaphragm.

pelvic plexus

the autonomic plexus that is distributed to the pelvic viscera that consists of the cranial vesical plexus, the middle genital plexus and the caudal hemorrhoidal plexus, located on the ventrolateral surface of the rectum. It innervates the urinary bladder, prostate, ductus deferens and cranial urethra. It is supplied by the hypogastric and pelvic splanchnic nerves.

pelvic splanchnic nerves

see nervi erigentes.

pelvic symphysiotomy

surgical separation of the symphysis in immature animals as an aid in dystocia due to maternal pelvic inadequacy.

pelvic urethra

that part of the urethra that passes through the pelvis.

pelvic viscera

includes urinary bladder and pelvic ureters and urethra, rectum, prostate, seminal vesicles, vas deferens and ampullae in males, and vagina cervix and uterus, possibly ovaries, in the female.
