Canalis pudendalis
The canalis pudendalis (from Latin canalis “tube”, “canal”; pudendus “belonging to the pubic area”), also called Alcock's canal , is a passage channel for conduction structures near the pelvic floor .
The pudendal canal is framed by a fascia duplication (doubling of the muscle skin) of the internal obturator muscle , the obturator fascia , and is laterally bounded by it. In the middle (medial) the fatty tissue of the ischioanal fossa hugs it .
The canal carries a nerve and two vessels:
- Nervus pudendus ( Nervus dorsalis penis / Nervus dorsalis clitoridis )
- Internal pudendal artery
- Internal pudendal vein
