pu·bo·rec·ta·lis mus·cle

(pyū'bō-rek-tā'lis mŭs'ĕl)

The medial part of the musculus levator ani (pubococcygeus muscle) that passes from the body of the pubis around the anus to form a muscular sling at the level of the anorectal junction; it contracts to increase the perineal flexure during a peristalsis to maintain fecal continence and relaxes to allow defecation.
Synonym(s): musculus puborectalis [TA] , puborectal muscle.

puborectalis muscle

Pelvic muscle, part of levator ani. Origin: back surface of pubis. Insertion: joins other levator ani muscles forming a bowl shaped diaphragm, encircles anal canal, and attaches to sacrum and coccyx. Nerve: inferior rectal and sacral (S4). Action: supports pelvis, holds anal canal at right angle to rectum.

Evaluation of a Video Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise Model Prior To Radical Prostatectomy

In an effort to develop safer and less invasive passage of the trocar, or needle, through the retropubic region a transobturator tape was introduced24 which passes through the obturator and puborectalis muscles, reproducing the natural suspension fascia of the urethra while preserving the retropubic space.
