Definition[Bearbeiten]
The ligamentum transversum perinei forms the anterior edge of the urogenital diaphragm as a thickening of the membrana perinei (fascia diaphragmatis urogenitalis inferior).
Topography[Bearbeiten]
The ligament represents the dorsal border of the passage of the dorsal clitorid vein in women and the dorsal penis vein in men. The ventral border of the opening is provided by the inferior pubic ligament, which lies directly on the pelvic symphysis.
