RECTUM & ANAL CANAL


Anal triangle(Posterior Perineum)

Posterior part of

perineum

Boundaries:

Anteriorly: imaginary

line joining two ischial

Tuberosities.

POSTEROLATERALLY:

sacrotuberous

ligament


Ischioanal (ischiorectal) fossa:

A perineal space on both side of anal canal.

Wedge shaped with apex directed upwards.

Lateral wall vertical and medial wall sloping downward and medially.

Fat filled: allows expansion of rectum and anal canal during

defecation.


Ischioanal (ischiorectal) fossa:

Measurements:

Vertical- 5cm

Anteroposterior- 5cm

Transverse- 2.5cm


Ischioanal (ischiorectal) fossa:

Boundaries

Laterally : obturator internus

and its fascia & ischial

tuberosity

Medially: levator ani covered by

anal fascia & external anal

sphincter

Anteriorly: superficial and deep

transverse perineal muscles.

Posteriorly: sacrotuberous

ligament covered by Gluteus

Maximus

Apex: fusion of obturator and

anal fascia

Base: skin and superficial fascia


Ischioanal (ischiorectal) fossa:

Lunate fascia:

Arched fascia in ischiorectal

fossa.

Starts from the periosteum

of ischial tuberosity makes

medial wall of pudendal

canal, lines obturator fascia

goes towards apex and

lines anal fascia blends with

it at the level of white line of

Hilton.

Summit of this facia called

tegmentum.


Pudendal or Alcock's canal:

Fascial tunnel in lateral

wall of ischiorectal fossa

2.5cm above ischial

tuberosity.

Formed either by

splitting of obturator

fascia or by separation

between lunate and

obturator fascia or by

splitting of perianal

fascia.


Pudendal or Alcock's canal:

?Extends from lesser sciatic foramen to posterior limit of deep perineal

space.

?contents: internal pudendal vessels & pudendal nerve

and its 2 branches- dorsal nerve of penis/clitoris and

perineal nerve.


Parts of ischiorectal fossa:

Suprategmental:

above lunate fascia

contains loose fat.

Ischiorectal space

proper: between

lunate and perianal

fascia. Contain fat

with fibrous tissue.

Perianal space:

between perianal

fascia and skin.

Contains loculated fat

in tight fibroelastic

compartments.
Contents

?Internal pudendal vessels and pudendal

nerve

?Inferior rectal vessels and nerve

?Posterior scrotal/labial vessels and nerves

?Perineal branch of 4th and perforating

branch of 2nd and 3rd sacral nerve.

?Fat pad.


APPLIED ANATOMY

Ischiorectal abscess:

loose fat so an abscess in

this region may grow to a

large size before

producing pain.

Perianal abscess: fat is in

tight compartments so

the abscess is very

painful due to tension

caused by building pus.

Abscess bursting in the

anal canal may produce

fistula in ano.


APPLIED ANATOMY

Pudendal block: for perineal anesthesia.

Generally done in 2nd stage of labour to perform or repair

episiotomy.

Transvaginal and Transperineal approach.

ANAL CANAL


INTRODUCTION

?Terminal part of alimentary

tract,begins at ano-rectal junction.

ano-rectal junction 2-3 cms infront

and slightly below tip of coccyx.

?From ano-rectal junction canal

passes downwards & backwards

through Pelvic diaphragm.

?Opens at anal orifice situated in the

cleft between buttocks 4 cms below

& in front of tip of coccyx.



Ano-rectal junction in male

corresponds to apex of prostate

4 cms in front of tip of coccyx


Features

Surrounded by sphincter ani muscles

Canal closed except during defaecation

Measurements

Length (adult) 3.8 cms

Breadth when empty

lateral walls approximated

(antero-posterior slit)


RELATIONS

In front:

1. Perineal body

2. In male ? bulb of penis & spongy

urethra

In female ? Lower part of post. wall

of vagina

Behind:

Ano-coccygeal raphe

Fibro-fatty tissue bet' peri-anal skin

& raphe

On each side:

Ischio-rectal fossa and

its contents


INTERIOR OF ANAL CANAL

Divided by pectineal line &

Hilton's line into 3 areas

1. Upper (15 mm)

2. Intermediate (15 mm)

3. Lower (8 mm)

(Anal verge)


FEATURES IN THE UPPER PART OF ANAL CANAL

1. Anal columns (columns of Morgagni):

These are permanent longitudinal mucous

folds numbering 6 to 10. They contain

radicles of the superior rectal vein.

2. Anal valves (valves of Morgagni): These

are crescentic folds ofmucousmembrane

which connect the lower
ends of adjacent anal columns. The free

margins of thesevalves are directed upward.

The position of these valves is indicated by

the wavy pectinate line (also calleddentate

line).

3. Anal sinuses: These are vertical recesses

between the anal columns and above the anal

valves. The ducts of tubularanal glands

present in the submucosa open in the floor

of anal sinuses.
FEATURES IN THE LOWER PART OF ANAL CANAL

(a) Upper region (often called pecten): It is

15 mm long and extends from the pectinate

line to Hilton's line. It is lined by the non-

keratinized stratified squamous epithelium.

The mucous lining in this region appears

bluish in colour due to underlying dense

venous plexus and is adherent to the

underlying structures.

(b) Lower region of lower anal canal: It is

about 8 mm in extent and lined by the true

skin containing sweat and sebaceous gland.

It shows pigmentation. In adult males,

coarse hairs are often found around the anal

orifice.



PECTINATE LINE
?Muco-cutaneous junction of

anal canal

?Corresponds with position of

anal valves

?Situated at the middle of

internal sphincter

?Divides anal canal into upper

and lower areas (proctodeum)

which are different in

development, blood supply,

lymphdrainage and in nerve

supply

HILTON'S LINE

It is a color contrast bet'

bluish pink area above and

black skin below

The line is represented by

inter-sphincteric groove at

the lower end of the internal

sphincter

Indicates lower end of

internal sphincter


SPHINCTERS OF THE ANAL CANAL

Two ? Internal & external, surround the anal canal.

SPHINCTER ANI INTERNUS

Involuntary sphincter,Thickening of circular muscle of lower part of rectum

Surrounds upper 3/4th of anal canal

Lower end corresponds with Hilton's line

Middle corresponds with pectinate line

Internally the sphin. Is separated from mucous membrane by internal venous plexus

Externally separated from ext. sphin.Muscle by Conjoint sheath derived from levator

ani and longitudinal muscles of rectum


SPHINCTER ANI EXTERNUS

Voluntary sphincter

Surrounds entire length of anal canal

Consists of 3 parts ? Subcuatneous,Superficial & Deep
Nerve Supply of Sphincter

1. The internal sphincter is made up of smooth muscle and

supplied by the autonomic nerve fibres (sympathetic and

parasympathetic), hence it is involuntary.

2. The external anal sphincter is made up of striated muscle

and hence, supplied by the somatic nerve--inferior rectal

nerve and perineal branch of 4th sacral nerve. It is

therefore under voluntary control.


CONJOINT FIBRO ? ELASTIC SHEATH

Formed by longitudinal muscle of rectum blending at ano-

rectal Junction with puborectalis part of leavtor ani


BLOOD SUPPLY


VENOUS DRAINAGE


LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE


APPLIED ANATOMY

Fibrous tracts communicating with two

surfaces Ano-rectal mucosa and skin


Normal Veins Internal & external haemorrhoids



Sentinal pile is a tag formed

by a ruptured anal valve
