Subdivisions of the perineum
• Transverselinejoiningthe anteriorpart of ischial
tuberositiesdividesperineuminto:
1. Urogenitalregion / triangle- ANTERIORLY
2. Anal region / triangle- POSTERIORLY
Anal canal may be affected by many conditions
that are not so rare, not necessarily serious
and endangering to life but on the contrary
very INCAPACITATING
Haemorrhoids
Anal fistula
Anal fissure
Perianal abscess

Interior of Anal Canal
(Subdivisions)
Subdividedinto 3 parts:
Upper part- 15mm
Middle part- 15 mm
Lower part – 8 mm
Upper part
• 15 mm long
• Endodermal in origin- primitive anorectalcanal
• Lining – mucus membrane
• Epithelium– simple/stratifiedcolumnar
• Colour - Plum red
• Specialfeatures –
– Anal columns
– Anal valves
– Pectinate/ dentateline
– Anal papillae
Special features of upper part
ANAL COLUMNS
• 6-10 vertical mucosal ridges
• Permanent mucosal folds
• Contain radicals of superior rectal vein
ANAL VALVES
• Semilunar mucosal folds uniting lower
end of anal column
• Form – PECTINATE LINE
ANAL SINUS
• Depression above anal valve
• Floor contains openings of anal glands
Importance of pectinate line
• Divides canal into 2 parts that are different:
–In development
–In arterialsupply
–In venousdrainage
– In lymphaticdrainage
–In nervesupply
Middle part/ Pecten
Length -15 mm
Ectodermalorigin- proctodeum
Epithelium-stratified squamous
Bluish pinkin appearance
–Due to presenceof dense
venousplexusbetween

No glands– sweat/sebaceous
Lower part
Length -8 mm

Musculature of Anal Canal
• Anal Sphincters
• Conjoint longitudnal coat
• What is the Anorectalring ?
Circular layer &
Longitudnal layer
Anal Sphincters
External
Internal
Thickening of circular
muscle layer
Anal Sphincters
Internal anal sphincter
• Smooth muscle-Thickened
circularmusclelayer
• Involuntary
• Surroundsupper 3/4th of canal
• Endsat white lineof Hilton
• Intersphinctericgroove
betweenit and subcutaneous
part of externalsphincter
External anal sphincter
• Skeletalmuscle
• Voluntary
• Surroundswhole length of
canal
• 3 parts-
– Deep
– Superficial
– Subcutaneous
Sphincters allow defecation & maintain continence
External Anal
Sphincter
Encircles upper end of canal –
Has no bony attachment
Encircles middle of canal – attached
to perineal body & anococcygeal
ligament
Encircles lower end of canal –
Has no bony attachment
Intersphincteric
groove
Single
Functional & Anatomic
entity
Conjoint Longitudnal coat
• Formed by fusion of
puborectaliswith longitudnal
muscleof rectum
• LiesbetweenInternal &
externalsphincter
• Forms a fibroelstic sheath
that breakslower down into
septain a fanwisemanner
Conjoint Longitudnal coat
• Laterally– most lateral forms perianal fascia
• Inferiorly– pierce subcutaneous External sphincter attached to skin – forms
corrugator cutis ani
Medially–
• Forms anal intermuscular
septum
• Some pass through
internal sphincter and
end in submucosa
Damage of the ring
results in
Incontinence
Anorectal ring
Through inferior
hypogastric plexus
Through inferior
rectal nerve
Clinical & surgical anatomy
• Hemorrhoids
–Internal
–External
• Anal Fissure
• Anal Fistula
• Anal / Perianalabscess
Hemorrhoids
• Fold of mucous membraneand submucosawith varicosed
venoustributary
INTERNAL
EXTERNAL
causedby increasedstraining or intra-
abdominalpressure(e.g., due
to constipation,pregnancyor extendedperiods of
sitting).
Patientsmay present with prolapse,
rectal bleeding, pain, and pruritus.
Internal Hemorrhoids
First degree
Second degree
Third degree
• Tributaries of superior rectal vein, covered by mucosa
• Protrusion from anal columns in upper half of canal
• Commoner is certain specific locations
• Sensitive only to stretch so may cause non specific aching pain/ painless
PRIMARY PILES
– Enlargement of 3 main radicles of superior rectal veins in anal
columns
– usually occur at 3(left lateral), 7 (right posterior) & 11 o clock (right
anterior) position
SECONDARY PILES- any other location
External hemorrhoids
• Tributaries of inferior rectal vein
• At the anal margin
• Covered by skin
• Painful
Anatomical basis of engorgement of anal
cushions
• Pressureoverveinsat siteswherethey piercethe muscular
coat, during musclecontraction
• Increasedportal pressureis directlytransmitted at
portosystemiccommunicationsdue to absenceof valves
• Loose connectivetissuearound veinsforms a poor support
• Excessivestrainingassociatedwith chronicconstipation
• Somemay havecongenitalweaknessin vein walls
Anal Fissure
• Elongated ulcer in mucosa due to tearing of anal valves
• In people suffering from chronic constipation
• Extremely painful (lower part of canal)
• Mostly posterior midline, may occur in anterior midline ( superficial
external sphincter does not encircle anteriorly & posteriorly)
Anal Abscess
• Due to fecal trauma to anal
mucosa
– Infectionin submucosafollowing
fissure
– Complicationof fissure
– Infectedanal mucosalglands
• On the basis of location
– Submucosalabscess
– Subcutaneousabscess
– Ischiorectalabscess
– Pelvirectalabscess
is a painful condition in which a collection of pus
develops near the anus.
This often appears as a painful boil-like swelling
near the anus. It may be red in color and warm to the
touch.
Anal abscesses located in deeper tissue are less
common and may be less visible.
Anal Fistula
CAUSE:
– Due to spread of infection
from anal abscess
– Due to improper treatment of
anal abscess
• Abscessopens at two
places
– In the lumen of anal canal or
lower rectum
– On the skin of perianal
region
An anal fistula is a small tunnel that develops
between the end of the bowel and the skin
near the anus
Digital Rectal Examination-by gloved index finger
• Anteriorly:
– Opposite Terminal phalanx
• In males- rectovesicalpouch,posterior
surfaceof bladder, seminal vesicles,vas deferens
• In females – rectouterinepouch, vagina,cervix
– Opposite Middle phalanx
• In males – prostate
• In females – vagina
– Opposite Proximal phalanx
• In males- perinealbody, bulb of penis
• In females– perinealbody, lower vagina

  • 10. Relations of anal canal ANTERIORLY- Perineal body & In Males- membranous urethra & bulb of penis In Females – Lower part of vagina POSTERIORLY – Anococcygeal ligament Tip of coccyx LATERALLY – Ischioanal fossa ALL AROUND – Sphincter muscles Coronalsectionof pelvis& perineum
  • 11. Interior of Anal Canal (Subdivisions) Subdividedinto 3 parts: Upper part- 15mm Middle part- 15 mm Lower part – 8 mm
  • 12. Upper part • 15 mm long • Endodermal in origin- primitive anorectalcanal • Lining – mucus membrane • Epithelium– simple/stratifiedcolumnar • Colour - Plum red • Specialfeatures – – Anal columns – Anal valves – Pectinate/ dentateline – Anal papillae
  • 13. Special features of upper part ANAL COLUMNS • 6-10 vertical mucosal ridges • Permanent mucosal folds • Contain radicals of superior rectal vein ANAL VALVES • Semilunar mucosal folds uniting lower end of anal column • Form – PECTINATE LINE ANAL SINUS • Depression above anal valve • Floor contains openings of anal glands
  • 14.
  • 15. Importance of pectinate line • Divides canal into 2 parts that are different: –In development –In arterialsupply –In venousdrainage – In lymphaticdrainage –In nervesupply
  • 16. Middle part/ Pecten Length -15 mm Ectodermalorigin- proctodeum Epithelium-stratified squamous Bluish pinkin appearance –Due to presenceof dense venousplexusbetween mucosaand musclecoat No glands– sweat/sebaceous
  • 17. Lower part Length -8 mm Ectodermalorigin- proctodeum Epithelium-stratified squamouskeratinized (true skin) Pigmentedskin Glandspresent– sweat/ sebaceous& hair
  • 18. • Contrast betweenbluish pink mucosaand blackskin • WHITELINE OF HILTON • At the levelof lowerend of internalanalsphincter/ intersphinctericgroove
  • 19. Musculature of Anal Canal • Anal Sphincters • Conjoint longitudnal coat • What is the Anorectalring ? Circular layer & Longitudnal layer
  • 21. Anal Sphincters Internal anal sphincter • Smooth muscle-Thickened circularmusclelayer • Involuntary • Surroundsupper 3/4th of canal • Endsat white lineof Hilton • Intersphinctericgroove betweenit and subcutaneous part of externalsphincter External anal sphincter • Skeletalmuscle • Voluntary • Surroundswhole length of canal • 3 parts- – Deep – Superficial – Subcutaneous Sphincters allow defecation & maintain continence
  • 22. External Anal Sphincter Encircles upper end of canal – Has no bony attachment Encircles middle of canal – attached to perineal body & anococcygeal ligament Encircles lower end of canal – Has no bony attachment Intersphincteric groove Single Functional & Anatomic entity
  • 23. Conjoint Longitudnal coat • Formed by fusion of puborectaliswith longitudnal muscleof rectum • LiesbetweenInternal & externalsphincter • Forms a fibroelstic sheath that breakslower down into septain a fanwisemanner
  • 24. Conjoint Longitudnal coat • Laterally– most lateral forms perianal fascia • Inferiorly– pierce subcutaneous External sphincter attached to skin – forms corrugator cutis ani Medially– • Forms anal intermuscular septum • Some pass through internal sphincter and end in submucosa
  • 25. Damage of the ring results in Incontinence Anorectal ring
  • 26.
  • 28. Clinical & surgical anatomy • Hemorrhoids –Internal –External • Anal Fissure • Anal Fistula • Anal / Perianalabscess
  • 29. Hemorrhoids • Fold of mucous membraneand submucosawith varicosed venoustributary INTERNAL EXTERNAL causedby increasedstraining or intra- abdominalpressure(e.g., due to constipation,pregnancyor extendedperiods of sitting). Patientsmay present with prolapse, rectal bleeding, pain, and pruritus.
  • 30. Internal Hemorrhoids First degree Second degree Third degree • Tributaries of superior rectal vein, covered by mucosa • Protrusion from anal columns in upper half of canal • Commoner is certain specific locations • Sensitive only to stretch so may cause non specific aching pain/ painless
  • 31. PRIMARY PILES – Enlargement of 3 main radicles of superior rectal veins in anal columns – usually occur at 3(left lateral), 7 (right posterior) & 11 o clock (right anterior) position SECONDARY PILES- any other location
  • 32. External hemorrhoids • Tributaries of inferior rectal vein • At the anal margin • Covered by skin • Painful
  • 33. Anatomical basis of engorgement of anal cushions • Pressureoverveinsat siteswherethey piercethe muscular coat, during musclecontraction • Increasedportal pressureis directlytransmitted at portosystemiccommunicationsdue to absenceof valves • Loose connectivetissuearound veinsforms a poor support • Excessivestrainingassociatedwith chronicconstipation • Somemay havecongenitalweaknessin vein walls
  • 34. Anal Fissure • Elongated ulcer in mucosa due to tearing of anal valves • In people suffering from chronic constipation • Extremely painful (lower part of canal) • Mostly posterior midline, may occur in anterior midline ( superficial external sphincter does not encircle anteriorly & posteriorly)
  • 35. Anal Abscess • Due to fecal trauma to anal mucosa – Infectionin submucosafollowing fissure – Complicationof fissure – Infectedanal mucosalglands • On the basis of location – Submucosalabscess – Subcutaneousabscess – Ischiorectalabscess – Pelvirectalabscess is a painful condition in which a collection of pus develops near the anus. This often appears as a painful boil-like swelling near the anus. It may be red in color and warm to the touch. Anal abscesses located in deeper tissue are less common and may be less visible.
  • 36. Anal Fistula CAUSE: – Due to spread of infection from anal abscess – Due to improper treatment of anal abscess • Abscessopens at two places – In the lumen of anal canal or lower rectum – On the skin of perianal region An anal fistula is a small tunnel that develops between the end of the bowel and the skin near the anus
