  • First Online:

Abstract

The space is bounded ventrally by the bladder, laterally by the bladder pillars and dorsally by the vagina. Superiorly, it ends at the point of fusion between the adventitia of the bladder and vagina (loose connective tissue), which is called vesicocervical ligament or supravaginal septum. We see the access to the vesicovaginal space, with incision of the peritoneum. It is easy to do the cleavage close to the round ligament, laterally.
