Structure [ edit ]
Microanatomy/histology [ edit ]
The uterosacral ligaments consist of fibrous connective tissue, and smooth muscle tissue.[3]
Relations [ edit ]
The uterosacral ligaments pass inferior to the peritoneum. They embrace the rectouterine pouch , and rectum.[3] pelvic splanchnic nerves run on top[further explanation needed of the ligament.[4]
Function [ edit ]
The uterosacral ligaments pull the cervix posterior-ward, counteracting the anterior-ward pull exerted by the round ligament of uterus upon the fundus of the uterus , thus maintaining anteversion of the body of the uterus .[3]
Clinical significance [ edit ]
The uterosacral ligaments may be palpated during a rectal examination , but not during pelvic examination .[3]
