Background: The septum of the penis or the pectiniform septum (from Latina pecten) is a connective structure that separates the two corpora cavernosa of the penis. It is formed through the joining of the circular fibers of the tunica albuginea, which envelops the corpora cavernosa. The septum neither completely separates, nor entirely joins the two corpora cavernosa.

This study aimed to identify the morphometric variability of the main orbit communications and to highlight the differences between genders.
Materials And Methods: The anthropometric study was conducted on sixty dry skulls (120 orbits) of adults aged between 20 and 70 years.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the sympathetic nerve structures located at the boundary between the abdominal cavity and pelvis, which are crucial to avoid damaging during surgeries like total mesorectal excision.
- Researchers conducted dissections on cadavers to map out the anatomical routes and relationships of these nerves, emphasizing their surgical significance.
- The findings highlight key nervous structures such as the paravertebral sympathetic ganglion chain and the hypogastric plexuses, providing vital anatomical landmarks that can help preserve these nerves during surgical procedures.
The treatment of rectal cancer underwent a significant change with the introduction of total mesorectal excision (TME), which substantially improved recurrence rates. However, TME is associated with complications such as fecal incontinence and poor bladder control, especially in tumors located near the anal verge. The watch-and-wait (WW) protocol has emerged as an alternative for patients achieving a clinical complete response (cCR) following neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy.

Therefore, the pathology of each region is distinctive, and regional characteristics may influence exploration and treatment. We set out to perform detailed dissections of the male urethra and illustrate the regional specificity for each urethral segment.
